Canadian popular culture

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Canadian popular culture is mainly influenced by the United States and by Canada's British and French ancestry. Major touchstones include Canadian beer, promoted through advertising by brands such as Molson and Labatt, and movies such as Strange Brew. Television programs influencing Canadian popular culture include the Royal Canadian Air Farce, Hockey Night in Canada, Mr. Dressup, Polka Dot Door, the Degrassi series. Hockey provides another popular culture reference, with longstanding rivalries between teams (i.e. the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens, and cultural references such as Stompin' Tom Connors' The Hockey Song.

Canada is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world with a high immigration rate which allows for broad assimilation of cultures, especially from Asian countries.
