Delete the parts of the article about Canadian culture being "heavily" influenced by US culture. This is a common misconception (typically perpetuated by non-Canadians and/or those with weak knowledge of Canada) and easily debunked when even taking a cursory glance at the culture, politics, and society of both countries (especially these days, with america's pronounced and flamboyant shift to the far-right). Actual Canadians cringe whenever they hear this falsehood in wiki articles (and other weak sources of information) in the same way that Irish people cringe at English media's ignorant depictions of their country, or Ukrainians cringe at russian state-controlled media's depiction of their country.

Who is Canadian?

Why are we slicing & dicing residents based on where they came from, or where their parents came from? Who cares? If you're here, contributing to society & paying your bills, you are Canadian. It's as simple as that. If you insist on looking at it any other way, YOU have a problem, not the rest of us real Canadians. Grow up. 216.197.181.241 (talk) 04:21, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
