Cultural landscape which varies with time period. Today most Canadians are, or soon will be First (immigrant) or Second Generation Canadians. They do not have the history in Canada that past dominate cultures had but by shear numbers they will give Canada it's dominant cultures.

For others, more traditional cultures, a long history in the land resulted in what some call a "loose" culture that does not try to control people as "tight" cultures do. It is that loose nature that has allowed so many immigrants into Canada, more than almost any other country per capita. That is a cultural trait shared by few world wide.

Tight Cultures, created out of high population densities and adversities, are much more complex with tighter rules of behaviour. Loose cultures are much more open, accepting of differences, and welcoming. T

In the past it was much more of an Aboriginal/British/French mix and those differences of language and religion, tight and loose, made for some very clear traits. For example in Canada the French would be a much tighter culture the result of high (for the new world) population density and cultural adversity after defeat by the British.

Even today the French are a much more aggressive culture, forcing people to speak French (when they have the power to do so), and to learn the French culture.

Other Canadians, mostly English speaking from many different cultures are much more open, allowing more language and cultural freedoms. That is the result of lower population densities, a greater mix of cultures and less adversity or out right oppression.

Then there are the religious differences. Catholics are generally under much tighter control than Protestants, and many Canadians outside of the French areas were much more likely to have had a very loose religious affiliation.

A major cultural trait that separates cultures in Canada, is the "live and let live" of loose cultures, and those that believe people must be tightly controlled.
