As Canadians we have common values and beliefs in our approaches, ie. Medical care, education, religion, arts, etc. that is different from worldviews from other countries.
Due to Canada’s size, our worldview may change slightly
if you live on the East Coast, West Coast, Ontario or Prairie Provinces. It may be slightly different again if you are aboriginal (oral
traditions, ties to the land) vs. francophone (religion, language and education rights) vs. Anglophone.
Canada is multicultural and immigrants bring their worldview with them to Canada, as they become part of Canadian society, they begin to understand and adopt our values and beliefs.
