10 Cultural Characteristics: influenced by the European culture and traditions (especially British and French) a country composed of immigrants with cultural diversity Multiculturalism: the Constitution Act prohibits discrimination against individual citizens on the basis of race, color, religion and sex Canadian people: show respect for all cultures coming to Canada accept immigrants from all over the world respect the dignity of every individual citizen regardless of social status accept different languages respect the country's land, government and national heroes (celebrities) reject the need to carry guns for self-protection

11 Social Norms: 1. Communication: Shake hand firmly with good eye contact when meeting or departing new friends or in formal occasions. Remove sunglasses or hat when speaking with someone. Leave one or two feet of space between yourself and other people, and limit your body movement and touching to the minimal amount (other than handshakes) Don't speak with your hands in your pockets (especially in Quebec). Don't give the "thumbs down" gesture as it is considered offensive.) Don't point at someone with your index finger. Note that the "okay" sign means " zero" rather than "ok" in Quebec. (pics)

12 2. Manners & Etiquette: Be ready to greet and receive greetings from people you don't know with "Hi!" or "How are you?" when you are on the street. When you are invited to a Canadian friend's home, don't move around in the house. Stay in the "guest room" he/she has designated for you. Recycling and not littering are highly valued. Stand in a queue/line when waiting for something. First come first serve. Be on time for a party, but it is acceptable to be 15 minutes late. It is OK to refuse food politely. Pay a 15% tip at restaurant. Eating utensils (forks, spoons, knives, etc.) should be placed on the plate after you finish eating.

13 Don't speak in a foreign language in front of someone who does not understand the language. Don't smoke in other people's home or cars unless they allow you to do so. Bargaining is not a common practice, but you can do so when buying a house, a car or dealing with a private seller. Don't present white lilies to friends or acquaintances these flowers are associated with funerals! Don't ever put your elbow on the table when you are eating. Don't eat while walking in public. Don't use a toothpick, brush your hair, or clip your fingernails in public.

14 Food: much the same as that in the USA some common Canadian foods: Pountine (fries with gravy and cheese curds); Chicken wings (with sauces); Pierogies (dumplings with cheese, meat and potato as stuff); Maple syrup; Raspberries; Beaver tails (not a real beaver's tail of course; it's a kind of fried pastry) Pountine Pierogies Beaver tails

15 Discussion: Both the Canadian and the American cultures are enriched by immigrants, but they two still slightly differ from each other. Can you give some examples of the similarities and differences between the Canadian Culture and the American Culture?
