63. Separatism And Western Canadian Culture
    Separatism and Western canadian culture. This again causes Western canadian cultureto be undermined, and a great load of frustration placed upon it.  
    http://www.westcan.org/westcan/culture.htm
    
    Extractions: (This Supplement to the Western Separatist Papers originally appeared in WSP, Volume V, No. 2, February 1987) The imposition of compulsory bilingualism in the federal civil service, federal Crown corporations, and other institutions, as well as within a steadily expanding provincial context (e.g. Manitoba) has been discussed often in terms of dollars, but there is a cost in terms of culture as well. It is a subject some hesitate to confront for fear of being labelled a "bigot," but the fact remains that the federal government’s policies of compulsory bilingualism at once superimpose upon Western Canada an unnatural cultural framework, and rob Westerners of the resources that would have gone to build the natural culture of Western Canada. These policies (now entrenched within the Constitution of 1982. never voted on by any Western Canadians) have resulted in frustration and anger, and have if anything, damaged the social tolerance of Western Canada. For an indepth study of this problem - and its effect on Canada as a whole - see Peter Brimelow’s book, "The Patriot Game," available through your local bookstore at approx. $25.00, published by Key Porter Books. The system of measures a culture uses is another type of language. When that language is altered without the consent of the people, frustration results. In the case of the metric system, whatever its merits, chaos in many areas has also resulted. (eg. agriculture). This has once more kept Western Canadians busy, spending their valuable time and money on a non-productive endeavour, and has enabled the masking of various disastrous federal policies such as the National Energy Program.

    http://collections.ic.gc.ca/heirloom_series/volume4/238-239.htm
    
    Extractions: Dramatizing Canadian Culture John Hugh MacLennan, a five-time winner of Canada’s prestigious Governor General’s Literary Award, contributed immensely to the creation of a distinct Canadian literature. His outstanding literary talents secured for him national and international acclaim before his death on November 9, 1990. Although MacLennan regarded Halifax as his home town, he was born in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, a Cape Breton coastal community dominated, for many years, by the coal-mining industry. When he was seven years old, MacLennan moved with his family to Halifax. On the morning of December 6, 1917 he witnessed, as a ten-year-old boy, the Halifax explosion caused by the collision of a Belgian relief ship and a French munitions vessel. This explosion, estimated to have been the world’s worst before the dropping of the nuclear bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, in August 1945, left an indelible impression on young MacLennan. No wonder! Sixteen hundred Haligonians died in the explosion, nine thousand were injured, and more than 25,000 lost their homes or encountered major difficulties as a result of property damage. The explosion occurred at 8.45 A.M. Since classes in Halifax schools did not begin in those days until 9.30 A.M., MacLennan, was still at home and thus escaped death or injuries he might have suffered had he been in school.

    http://comms.uwo.ca/media/archives/commentary/2000/jan_apr/AOL.htm
    
    Extractions: SAYS UWO EXPERT The purchase of Time Warner by America Online (AOL) will undoubtedly have major effects on both the traditional media and Internet industries in the U.S. How will the merger affect Canada? Manjunath Pendakur , dean of the Faculty of Information and Media Studies, says, "Canada’s historic attempt to create a cultural industry at home took another major blow yesterday with this merger." "Concentration of power in one such mega, global corporation may wipe out a gamut of creative enterprises that produce television shows, films, novels, scripts, and so on," he says. "The Internet inherently allows for democratic participation and individual creativity whereas the AOL – Time Warner model takes us in the opposite direction."

73. L.M. Montgomery And Canadian Culture By Deirdre Baker
    LM Montgomery and canadian culture Irene Gammel and Elizabeth Epperly. Universityof Toronto Press. xviii, 268. LM Montgomery and canadian culture.  
    http://www.utpjournals.com/product/utq/701/culture102.html
    
    Extractions: Brief references to Alice Munro, Margaret Laurence, and Jane Urquhart suggest the impact Montgomery's works had on these writers; and Frank Davey explores the connection between Kim Campbell's public image and Montgomery's Anne. In an interview, Sharon J. Hamilton, author of My Name's Not Susie: A Life Transformed by Literacy, discusses how Anne became such a powerful role model for her that, ultimately, she changed the trajectory of Hamilton's life as a foster?child. Whether she's interpreted as subversive or conservative, this collection leaves no doubt that Montgomery does indeed have a significant place in Canadian culture - whether high, low, or `pop' - and that, conversely, Canadian culture has a significant place in her writings. And it's refreshing that there's enough scepticism in the volume to mitigate the more reverential `Montgomery says' element. It seems fitting, too, that this compilation of literary criticism, personal `reflection pieces,' and journalism should make a very readable collection, likely to be as enjoyable for Montgomery's educated popular audience as it is for her scholarly critics.

74. The Deification Of Choice In B.C. Canadian Culture - What Is It That B.Cers Real
    Short and Sweet Tips for living the abundant life. The Deification of Choicein BC canadian culture. What is it that B.Cers really want most in life?  
    http://www3.telus.net/st_simons/digest54.htm
    
    Extractions: Short and Sweet: What is it that B.Cers really want most in life? According to the results of Project Can85, 95% of B.Cers say that freedom is very important. Other top values are happiness (93%), family life (88%), being loved (85%), friendship (85%), comfortable life (63%), and success (56%). Dr. Reginald Bibby, the well-known Canadian sociologist and author, recently wrote a very challenging book about the poverty and potential of life in Canada, entitled Mosaic Madness (Stoddart, 1990). Bibby suggests that "our current emphasis on choice in Canada has blurred the distinction between toleration and advocation. Our major institutions - the media, the school, government, and even religion - have been saying less and less about better and best possibilities. Young Canadians especially have been among the losers." Is there anything left that we as Canadians still commonly believe in, in our relativistic and pluralistic culture? Is everything really just a matter of subjective preferences and personal opinion? Bibby comments that "Relativism has slain moral consensus. It has stripped us of our ethical and moral guidelines, leaving us with no authoritative instruments with which to measure social life...we (have) triumphantly discarded the idea that there are better and best choices in favour of worshipping choice as an end in itself." If there is anything that tends to be deified in our contemporary Canadian culture, it is Choice.

(English) (French) Canadian Heritage has launched a series of initiatives over the past two years to encourage the development of Canadian cultural content on the Internet, including the Partnerships Fund and the Canadian Memory Fund. These two programs, along with many others, made up the Canadian Digital Cultural Content Initiative (CDCCI). In May 2001, Canadian Heritage announced that the Government of Canada would invest $108 million over the next three years to develop additional programs that would help Canada achieve a critical mass and improve access to digital cultural content. All of these initiatives have now been brought together to form the Canadian Culture Online Program.

    Extractions: organisation: Faculty of Administration, University of Regina date: 28-09-98 message: The barriers to entry in the field of new media is so low that it would be silly to worry about try- ing to maintain Canadianization of new media. Rather, we should think about how we can Canadianize the world through new media. This could be achieved by providing every Canadian with a high-end computer and internet hookup for free along with free tutorials on internet publishing. We can export Canada to the world! Don't be such wimps. Take advantage of this opportunity for Canadian Imperial- ism. We will use Pamela Sue Anderson and Anne Murray to conquer the world! ;) Hiroaki Izumi
