This diversity is especially unique since ����vlog���� was the first nation to adopt multiculturalism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">����vlog���� has dual nationality (French ����vlog���� and English ����vlog����), derived from the British conquest of the French colony around Quebec and Ontario in 1760.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to dominating political and societal issues, this dual heritage has polarized the population.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Here\u2019s everything you need to know about Canadian culture and customs:<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Art<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several explorers, missionaries, and settlers wrote the first truly Canadian works in French, which inspired subsequent works. Canadian art is defined as the creation of visual, sculpture, and all other types of artworks stemming from first nations peoples and immigrant European and non-Europeans alike.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the aboriginal arts period to the contemporary arts of today, Canadian art has evolved through notable periods in history. Consistently, the arts represent the cultural significance that the Canadian people are proud of.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the 1960s, Canadian artwork experienced a distinctive development thanks to a new understanding of how the rest of the world views and creates art.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the more notable works in this period are Lisa Steele&#8217;s pioneering video art and David Askevoid&#8217;s video art and photography.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cuisine<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Canadian agricultural and farming heritage produces food and animal products, making them big meat eaters. Families typically eat three meals a day, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Canadian population is large and diverse, so traditional meals and foods vary greatly. In ����vlog����, popular foods include poutine, a dish from Quebec that consists of French fries with cheese and brown gravy, and Canadian peameal bacon, a pork loin that has been brined and rolled in cornmeal before eating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The French Canadian version of split pea soup uses yellow split peas with a ham bone or ham hock for the soup base. Newfoundlanders and Quebecers may add meat, carrots, and turnips to the peas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another popular dish is Saskatoon berry pie. Saskatchewan berries or prairie berries are blueberries with a sweet, nutty almond flavor. They are the sweet and nutritious filling for this flaky, crusty pie.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sports<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a leading sport nation, ����vlog���� combines four seasons with geographic and social diversity to shape how sport is practiced today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In ����vlog����, Indigenous people have played lacrosse for a thousand years, which is the summer national sport. Dr. James Naismith invented basketball in 1891 to condition young athletes during the winter, and hockey was invented in ����vlog���� in the 1800s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among children, soccer is the most popular game. As part of a healthy, active lifestyle, Canadians of all ages can participate in sports activities at every level and in various forms.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Religion\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Religion is a fundamental part of Canadian society, where every citizen is free to practice whatever religion they choose, as long as its practices do not violate the law.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there is no official national religion, Christianity has been the predominant faith since colonization. Most legal proceedings culminate in swearing on the Bible, and prayers open many official functions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The discussion of religion is welcome, but some people may not like others promoting their faith or advocating defensively for their beliefs, including atheism. Preaching in social conversation may be perceived as irritating.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greetings<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strong conventions govern greetings and social etiquette in ����vlog����, and understanding and obeying these rules is an important part of fitting in. Canadians generally shake hands with a firm hand and make eye contact when greeting strangers; they may laugh lightly over handshakes to diffuse the formality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While physical greetings depend on another person\u2019s comfort level, French Canadians may also greet each other by lightly kissing both cheeks once. Hugs, back-slaps, and nods may all be used to greet someone one knows well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Language<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Officially, ����vlog���� is a bilingual country with two official languages: French and English. However, most Canadians speak English, followed by English and French, English and some other language, or only French.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is much less common for Canadians to speak French, called French-Canadians or Francophones. More than 90% of them live in Quebec \u2014 the only province where French is spoken daily. 3.8 million Quebecers speak only French, while another 3.2 million speak both English and French.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Canadian English language relies heavily on American pronunciations and spelling, along with a few uniquely Canadian flourishes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Significant Dates<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>July 1, 1867 &#8211; ����vlog���� Day. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1867, the Constitution Act consolidated three territories into the single nation of ����vlog����, and that\u2019s why ����vlog���� Day is celebrated on July 1st by all who celebrate it as their home and native land.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>October 29, 1929 &#8211; The Great Depression. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The stock markets witnessed their worst crash on a black Tuesday.
