An actual symbol of Canadian culture would have values or characteristics that make it uniquely Canadian and tied to the culture. A manufactured cultural institution is just that, something put together as part of a marketing campaign.

Also, I can't think of a single thing that is inherently tied to Canadian culture that hasn't been played up as part of a marketing campaign.
Niceness, beavers, maple syrup, hockey, snow, whatever.
