Canada's culture is a funny thing．Many people in Canada think that Canada doesn't really have its own culture，but borrows heavily from French，British and American cultures．It is hard to describe our culture or to say that something is part of Canadian culture，but there are many things in our society that we can say are uniquely（独一无二地）Canadian，such as hockey or our entertainment scene．

There are characters that are not unique to Canadians，but they certainly seem to be more prevalent here than anywhere else．Canadians are generally considered very polite．We also have a reputation for being wise thinkers，and we certainly love peace and would prefer to argue than fight physically．

We don't really have an internationally famous dish，like blood pudding，pasta or sauerkraut，unless it's maple syrup．What we do have is multiculturalism（多元文化主义）．We are willing to take in any culture and make it part of our own．We are a country of immigrants（移民）and that is our culture．In Canada，just about every language in the world is spoken．We have television channels and newspapers for any cultural group that has a large enough market to support them．

In a city like Toronto，Vancouver or Montreal，you could have world-class dim sum for breakfast，kimchi for lunch and butter chicken for dinner and the next day have Belgian waffles and crepes for breakfast，Yorkshire pudding for lunch and jerk chicken or kitfo for dinner．The possibilities are endless．

We've told you a little about Canadian culture．You Call click www.studyincanada.com for more information．But we think the best way to experience Canada's culture is to come to Canada and experience it for yourself．
