Why are most of the posts on this CANADIAN site about events that are happening in America? This insidious creep of American culture and foreign policy is what is in fact 'Americanizing' Canada. If all we read about is from America, no wonder we lose site of the Canadian identity.

This insidious creep of American culture and foreign policy is what is in fact 'Americanizing' Canada.

That has been happening for longer than both of us have been alive. And it has always been a threat to Canada's culture and self-image.

It's the reason the CanCon regulations exist in broadcasting.

It's the reason there are still some foreign ownership regulations in some industries (and why there were more in the past until Mulroney, Harper and other conservative governments removed them).
