枫下茶话 / 政治经济 / 我觉得加拿大的lack of a national identity是她一个非常的强项,这本身就是她的national identity.而且也是吸引众多象我一样的移民的重要原因。当然,多元文化的好处坏处是可以讨论的。"The essential characteristic of the Canadian public mythology is its complexity. To the extent that it denies the illusion of simplicity, it is a reasonable facsimile of reality. That makes it a revolutionary reversal of the standard nation-state myth. To accept our reality—the myth of complexity—is to live out of sync with élites in other countries, particularly those in the business and academic communities." - John Ralston Saul

A nation's lack of identity is even worse than a person's lack of character. Nobody wants to be friend with no character, and no citizen will loyal to a state without identity. Under Harper's leadership, Canada shows a strong identiy,a confident, responsive and prospective nation. A nation that always stands by his principles and friends. Proud to be a Canadian. BTW, i do not believe Mr. Saul thinks Canada lacks of identity.

In the 1970s, CBC Radio's This Country in the Morning held a competition whose goal was to compose the conclusion to the phrase: "As Canadian as..." The winning entry read: "... possible, under the circumstances"

That only shows the CBC's listeners' thoughts about this great country. Do not confuse torontonians with other Canadians. No offens to people in toronto, but if you ask people in the rest of Canada, we do not think torontonians are canadians.

Isn't that just proved my point, or should I say, we have a Western Canadian identity, a Quebec identity, a proud Torontonian identity, a New Foundlander identify, an East Coastal Canadian identity, and a few North Western Canadian identity?or maybe, I should rather say: an Islam Canadian identity, a Chinese Canadian identity, an English speaking Caucasian Canadian identity, a French speaking Caucasian Canadian identity.. and so on and so forth ? Don't you see my point? I am not saying this is BAD... BECAUSE THIS IS OUR CANADIAN IDENTITY!

I think we are talking about different things. A national identity is how people think of what Canada is, regardless individuals or regions. What I underline is: Canada shows a vivid and distinctive identity,through history and under Harper. In addition, Diversity is definitely part of national identity.
