Canadianism

Canadianism (French: Canadianisme) or Canadian patriotism (French: Patriotisme canadien) is patriotism involving the cultural attachment of Canadians to Canada as their homeland. In contemporary times, this patriotism has increasingly centred on the principles of official bilingualism and civic nationalism that reflect the cultural mosaic of Canada. These principles contribute to the formation of a cohesive and distinct Canadian identity. It has been identified as related, though in some cases distinct, to Canadian nationalism.
