    Canadian Identity

    The question of what it means to be a Canadian has been a difficult and much debated one. Some people see the question itself as central to that identity. Canadians have never reached a consensus on a single, unified conception of the country. Most notions of Canadian identity have shifted between the ideas of unity and plurality. They have emphasized either a vision of “one” Canada or a nation of “many” Canadas. A more recent view of Canadian identity sees it as marked by a combination of both unity and plurality. The pluralist approach sees compromise as the best response to the tensions — national, regional, ethnic, religious and political — that make up Canada.

    Canadian Identity and Language

    Language policy in Canada, as it relates to Canadian identity, traditionally encompasses three points of view. One favours an officially bilingual Canada. It reaffirms the country as the product of two “founding peoples.” A version of this approach, introduced by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, endorses official bilingualism but rejects the claim that two “peoples” or “nations” deserve any special recognition. Rather, it argues that we should instead emphasize Canada’s multiculturalism. The second position argues that, since no linguistic group deserves special status, the country should therefore have no official languages. The third position argues that Canada is not only multicultural, but also multinational. It argues that French and English should have official status because this recognizes two of the country’s founding nations. This approach also suggests that efforts should be made to help preserve Indigenous languages.

    Canadian Painting in the 19th Century

    Prior to the emergence of distinctively Canadian modernist painters in the 20th century (e.g., Tom Thomson, the Group of Seven, Emily Carr and David Milne), Canadian painting closely followed conventional, academic European models and tastes. This did not change after the 1840s. Cornelius Krieghoff captured the habitant lifestyle along the St. Lawrence River, while Paul Kane and Frances Anne Hopkins sketched and painted the First Nations people and landscapes of Western Canada. But as the century progressed, artists in Canada increasingly began to address specifically Canadian themes. The influence of photography, especially the work and studios of William Notman, was significant. The Royal Canadian Academy of Arts (RCA) was founded in 1880 and various artists’ groups thrived heading into the 20th century.

    Candy Bar Protest

    The Candy Bar Protest, also known as the Five Cent War, Candy Bar War, Candy Bar Strike, or the Chocolate Candy Bar Strike, was a protest that took place in the spring of 1947. Children in numerous Canadian cities organized public protests or boycotts against the rise of chocolate bar prices (see Confectionery Industry). The protest was generally well-received by the Canadian public, but it fell apart after unsubstantiated allegations that the effort was backed by communists. (See also Communist Party of Canada.)
