In 1945 a book was published called “The Two Solitudes”, showing how in Québec French Canadians and English Canadians essentially lived in separate worlds. (Not much has changed, sadly.) Canada’s francophones have their own entertainment (different movies and TV, different singers, different newscasters and writers), have their own product tastes not shared by the rest of the country, etc. Let’s call this the Québec culture.

But our First Nations likewise have their own cultures. Much like francophones in provinces other than Québec, they have to live surrounded by either anglophone or francophone culture, yet they don’t share it. (Our new Governor-General, a First Nation person from Northern Québec, speaks Inuk and English, but not French, because her First Nation gets its “Canadian culture” from the northern services in English of the CBC, etc.) Obviously, with hundreds of First Nations in the country, each with their own languages, there isn’t one native culture either.

For this project, pick one of Canada’s other cultures — francophone or native. How does it differ from the anglophone English-Canadian culture you see around you in the Toronto area. Learn what you can about the culture you choose, and document it
