Canadian Identity test. 
								By Trevor Dawson.

	1: The Canadian Identity is the stuff that all Canadian's have in 

common, it's like we invented hockey so that is considered part of our 

identity.  We also invented Basketball  but the U.s. took that away from us

by exploting it and saying that because the man was in the U.s. it was not 

Canadian, but for the people that know they realize that our identity is falling

apart because the U.s. is a much bigger country so they have more power.



	2: The thing that create our identity our the sports we invented,

	the way we talk (eh), the courtesy that we have towards other
countries,

	the food we eat, and even the prices we have. More stuff that makes

	our identity are the amount of racism in our country compared to the 

	U.s. , also the beauty of the land compared to the overpopulated cities

	in the U.s. We have the Rocky mountains and many other clean and 

	famous landmarks. Also the crime rate is alot lower than in the U.s., 

	and also unlike them we have free health care and a lower pollution

	rate.


	3: Canada to me is the best place to live in because we have beautiful

	landmarks, we have free health care that helps my family alot because 

	of my asthma, we also have a government and a large amount of
people

	that are nice to other countries and are less hated. One main thing 

	known about Canada is that we are a center for sports, we also have

	less racism than the U.s., because if a black child walked into a school 

	in the U.s. 30 years ago he would be made fun of called names and 

	even failed by the teachers because of his skin color. But back in the 

	1800's black people thought of Canada as the free land.


	4: I think Canada and the U.s are very different because, we have way 

 	less violence, we have less pollution, we are more friendlier to our 

	neibouring countries, we have less pollution and free health care for 

	that matter. Most of the popular sports know in days us Canadian's

	invented even though the U.s. tries to say they might have, we are 

	more of a free country than the U.s. and we aren't even as close to as 

	racist then them.


	5: Canada and the U.s. are the same because, the businesses from the 

	U.s. are coming to Canada and putting the Canadian buissnesses 

	bankrupt. Also the T.v. sations from the U.s. are on almost all the T.v

	channels, most of their shows and movies are twice as violent as our's 

	and they even try to cut down the amount of violence in the shows 

	before their broadcast. Also the U.s. are coming to the leagues that 

	started off being Canadian, and we let them because they are way more

	dominant then us. Even though our violence level is lower than their's

	it's getting pretty high and our gangs are multiplying very fast.


	6: If Canada wants to keep a good country for the future we must, start 

	by cutting down the amount of pollution, also we have to clean up all

	the graffiti and the bad influences painted on the walls, we also have to 

	try to cut down the violence level that's on T.V. because that's just 

	ruining  the minds of the youth. We also should be more effective

	on the laws in the country like teens not smoking cigarettes or 

	marijuana. I think if Canada changed and showed the rest of the world

	that we're perfect then the rest of the world would start to think about 

	themselves.
