AppleEssay title: AppleIn this book Resnick’s gives his reflection on Canadian identity, as a Canadian enterprise if there was ever one. Canadians can no longer argue for its British or its French identity because it’s now its own nation state. It’s only to a degree that the infatuated search for Canadian identity is in reality central to this identity, that the steady search for answers to what it means to be a Canadian and how Canadians are different from Americans. Resnick disputes that Canadian roots have been overwhelmingly marked by its European early developments. This is most obvious when one inspects Canadas multiple national identities, its secular values, its strong social programs and its view on international affairs. In today’s world these trends have similar ideas and principles to that of the U.S. and Europe.
In a nutshell, is it possible for the Canadian national origins to not only be defined for our time, but also for our current situation?

And then there’s the question of how can one make sense of this Canadian identity in some way, perhaps from an American perspective in particular. A very real cultural aspect of the Canadian identity is perhaps of little relevance to the U.S..
Resnick’s answers regarding the Canadian identity in the context of the US.
For the most part this is true, however. The Canadian identity is not a national identity, it is more of the Canadian way of living in which one’s birthplaces and national identities are defined for an entire lifetime. In other words, the question is very simple. The answer, , is as simple as it can be.
A similar question occurs about how many Canadians are not from any nation.

The Canadian EnigmaThe Canadian Enigma are challenges the country faces in dealing with its own true identity. These factors contribute to the issues about Canada’s Identity, such as its rights for natives like the Quebecoise vs. the rights of the people who travel and migrate to Canada. The ties Canada holds with the U.S. vs. the European view on how Canada is different from that of the Americans.
Particularistic vs. Universalistic identitiesThe idea of political freedom was more evident in the American model that it was in the French model. The French’s ideas and principles were mostly set on social dimension. French Canadians trace their birth back to France nothing like that of the English Canadians who recognize Britain as their foundation.
