skyofblue,

1) The native reserves reside in Montreal which you depicted as a monoculture. It never was; 2) yes, a common culture can extend far deeper than laws, institutions, and national documents. My point was that it simply does not extend any further across Canada which has always been diverse society with diverse values and beliefs; 3) Not even Judaeo-Christians agree on gender relations in Canada and shared cultural references can be quite sparse between Greeks, Russians, Ukrainians, Italians, Scots, and the French. My wife was born in the Philippines and she laughs at the same jokes as me, and agrees on most cultural issues, does that make her culture the same as mine?  Here's my challenge, Skyofblue, list 10 distinctly Canadian cultural aspects that define what is a Canadian that are only shared by Judeo-Christians and not other unassimilated cultures across Canada without listing laws, institutions, or national documents. Best of luck.  lol
