The Canadian cultural experiment has attempted to forge a national culture based...not on the erasure of all remaining facets of difference, but on coexistence and co-operation, on consensus and multiplicity. The Ties That Bind , The Report of the and Communications, 1992 Canada is one of the most geographically vast and culturally diverse countries in the world. Its enormous land mass is home to numerous Aboriginal and Inuit peoples, the descendents of early European settlers, and new Canadians from all over the world. The unique contribution of English and French settlers has created a strong tradition of bilingualism, and our major centres, like Toronto and Vancouver, are among the most ethnically diverse cities in the world. This section provides a comprehensive overview of the government and industry initiatives undertaken to protect and promote Canadian culture in the interest of Canadians, and to ensure a domestic, as well as an international, market for Canadian cultural products.

Items identical to the American test are in grey Damien was born and lived most of his life in Toronto, Ontario; for the last three years he's been studying linguistics and second language teaching in Ottawa. Born in Regina, John lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where he works as a programmer. He's also lived in Ottawa and Winnepeg, and married an American ("from just outside Chicago, where it's quiet".) Mark If you're Canadian... ...you are of course not American . You're fascinated by minute differences between the U.S. and Canada, and a bit annoyed at Europeans who can't tell you apart. You are vaguely familiar with the charters of rights and freedoms in the constitution but really have no idea of what it's about. It seems perfectly normal for your country's Queen to live on another continent. You don't really think about it since it's not like it makes any difference; and if you're Quebecois, she's not really your Queen anyway. You might not even know the words to the National Anthem (in either language). You like that beer commercial though.

Woonsocket, Rhode Island - My Home Town - French Canadian Culture
By the midnineteenth century, Woonsocket had grown to become one of the largest textile manufacturing centers in the United States.
http://www.woonsocket.org/french.html

Extractions: Rhode Island's connection to France and French culture dates to 1524 when French explorer Giovanni de Verrazano explored the area around Block Island and Newport. By the end of the seventeenth century, French colonies in the new world extended from the St. Lawrence River to the mouth of the Mississippi River. These colonies prospered by trading timber, furs and fish. After the English defeated the French in the French-Indian War in 1763, "'la survivance" - the perpetuation of French language and culture - became a major priority for the French population in the new world. Woonsocket had its first contact with French culture in the late eighteenth century when the Ballous and Tourtellots, French Huguenot families, settled in the area. The Ballous, especially Dexter and George , were pioneers in Woonsocket's textile industry. As the textile industry in Woonsocket grew, so did the need for mill workers. The first French-Canadian families were recruited from Quebec to work in the mills of Woonsocket in the 1840's. Once started, this migration would continue for almost a century. The life of the French-Canadians in Quebec was largely agrarian. It was a system where each household grew, produced or bartered for everything the family needed to survive. As the population grew and family farms could no longer support succeeding generations, many left behind this self-sufficient life style for one based on wage labor in the mills. Eventually, one third of Quebec's population left Canada for mill villages in New England where they gathered in close-knit ethnic communities. By 1900, sixty percent of Woonsocket's population was French-Canadian and Woonsocket was the most French city in the United States.
