List of Canadian things, Canadian patriotism, Canadian culture, Canadian identities, Canadian pride?
I want to make a list of Canadian things…
A real list.
So, no, ice fishing, saying "Eh", or being a lumberjack wearing plaid do NOT count.
Let me give some examples…
Tim Hortons
Timbits
Montreal smoked meat
Nanaimo bars
Hockey
Maple syrup
Toques
Free health care
Writing a cheque, not check
Showing some colour, not color
Saying Z-ee, not Z-ed
Lonnies
Toonies
Lucky-Loonies
Insulin
CBC
CTV
The Rock (Newfoundland)
Beavers
Terry Fox
CN Tower
Stanley Cup
Government of Canada logo
Calgary Stampede
Trans-Canada Highway
Canadian National Railway
Vimy Ridge
Vimy Memorial
Expo 67
Canadarm
Avro Arrow
Banff National Park
Great Lakes
Bombardier
You keep adding on now!
Coke, you’re like an American troll
Tim hortons… doesn’t matter, it’s still Canadian
Timbits… is it’s own food, it’s like saying "you can’t put Montreal smoked meat, because you listed Montreal"
Hockey… Invented by Canada
Maple syrup… first made in Canada by natives, over %80 of world stock made in Canada, largely know as Canadian. (Apple pie is considered American, yet is was not even invented there)
Toques… Pretty much everyone owns one, and Canadians in winter really give the definition of the word "Toque"
Free health care… isn’t free, it’s socialized, paid by taxes, put a layman’s term of saying it, is "free"
Lucky-Loonies… A loonie placed under an ice rink, that team Canada won on when playing with the loonie under them. Created a fad of a lucky-loonie, soon mass produced and released as a loonie with Olympic rings on it.
Insulin… discovered by Canadians. Radio waves existed forever, and everywhere, yet only recently did people discover them and use them.
The Rock
Reversing Falls in Saint John, N.B.
Magnetic Hill and the Tidal Bore in Moncton, N.B.
Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia
Antonine Maillet and her works, especially La Sagouine
The poem/legend Evangeline
Aqua Neige competition in Val Moni, Quebec
The Fairmont Hotels: Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City & Chateau Lake Louise
Barkersville, B.C.
Sand blast competiotion, Prince Gorge, B.C.
Mr. PG statue, Prince George (OK that’s a bit iffy)
And all of the answers others have provided, from A to ZED

If you abolish a language do you abolish a culture?
I need opinions and or sources where I can read up on this issue.
(I´m writting about Newfoundland english)
Thank you
I think so because the culture of any nation is carried by its language.

Carl Rose – Whats an “Earforit” ? Newfoundland Accordian Music
A dear friend of my family and mentor of mine, Carl Rose discusses the mysterious nature of how Newfoundland music gets passed from generation to generation. His father was known as a wonderful accordion player, and as a child Carl picked up some of the old tunes that have been sung on the island for years.
The conversation is more hilarious then anything and other conversations end up leaking through, all around tho a great slice of Newf culture.

Is Newfoundland’s distinct culture still present after joining Canada? (Confederation)?
Specific points would be great! Things such as their economy, way of living, and religious aspects..etc
Thanks (:
I’ve been to Newfoundland.
Their economy is definitely in the can. They are pretty religious. They live a simply way of life.
Nice people. Their reputation as being gullible is somewhat based in truth. They are isolated and somewhat innocent.
We spent a few days in a fishing village near Gros Morne. The local kids treated us like celebrities. EVERYONE wanted us to come over to their house. Especially this one kid – he had a NINTENDO!
This was in 1999 and the coolest kid in town was the one with a Nintendo. The kids were poking at a big dead porpoise that was taken in a fishing net. All the roads were dirt. There was a community center 50 miles away with a doctor who comes on Wednesdays…. do you get my drift?
Their way of speaking is downright wacky sometimes.
