Canada the world's only self defined 'middle power.'

In all honesty we are a client state of the U.S. Much like what the Ukraine is to Russia The entire world knows that which is why our international influence has dwindled to where it is now.

In terms of domestic culture, I guess we're somewhat different. We appear to be more tolerant of other cultures although it's disputable. We don't have a virulently evangelical culture in some areas, although we are still as religious as the U.S. We tend to trust government more but in the wake of the Bush administration that can be disputed. The ratio of consumed foreign culture exports -which almost entirely American in source- versus consumed domestic cultural products is the highest in the western world. Economically, we aren't as free market oriented as the United States but we are probably next in line in the Western world. We are more urban than the U.S. by a couple percentage points. We have very similar consumption habits. The list goes on...

Finding differences as opposed to similarities is actually the hard part. Doesn't exactly make you think we're all that different and explains why Canadian culture is perpetually defined by what it isn't.

edit: Oh this is just analyzing english Canadian culture. Quebecois culture is clearly it's own definite culture, and in my opinion, the only example of a uniquely Canadian culture.
