    I’m honestly curious, how would you define anglo-Canadian identity?

    I feel like more and more, English Canada is becoming culturally Americanized. Less gun-obsessed, sure, and hockey over football/baseball, but apart from that the difference seems to be waning.

    Not that francophone communities, including Québec, aren’t also influenced by the US, but the impact is a lot lesser. I’d be super curious to see how much Canadian music/TV the average Canadian listens to, versus how much québécois content the average person in Québec consumes.

    There, to me anyways, seems to be a much higher emphasis on national identity in Québec than anywhere else in Canada (for better and for worse).

      you’d be disappointed… we still consume a lot of american media in quebec. more and more untranslated, too

      of course, this is just my experience, not a study, not sure how it compares to english canada either tbh

      we’d probably consume more quebec media if less of it fucking sucked lol
