It's just annoys me. It's like someone trying to tell me that hockey sucks because they saw a Broadway show. Have fun with your culture. Maybe when you grow up you'll realize that every place has it's local flavours and favorites. In Canada, we do what we do. The novelty may have worn off for 20-something white boy Canadians after jumping a pond, but it certainly doesn't diminish Canada's uniqueness and "culture".
Not necessarily directed at you, surferguy.

Nope 4x4 completly taken the wrong way... I agree Canada is super rich in culture, in fact the two years I have spent abroad (AUS and NZ) were very eye opening to me as far as reflecting back to Canada and how much culture we have here. (Completely re-affirmed during the buble closing cermony number)
What I was stating in my last post was that once you visit and arrive in NZ you will be greeted with Kiwi and Maori culture instantanously. It is everywhere, much more prevalent than other countries. I found it similar to west coast natives and how they are celebrated in BC.
And yes I am from Canada
