The course examines many facets of Canadian culture and identity including history and politics, First Nations issues, the arts and the media, Quebec and French Canada, popular culture from music and multiculturalism to health care and hockey. 

Why are Canadians obsessed with defining Canadian identity? Are there distinctive features of Canadian culture? Where will this debate take Canada in the 21st centure?
