The culture of Canada is definitely one of the most interesting and cosmopolitan in the whole world. Canadian culture, from ancient times, has been greatly influenced by the Aboriginal, British and French culture and tradition. Several cultures of Canada are popular among the U.S citizens and in the reverse way, with the help of the media and entertainment resources of U.S, they have been widely accepted throughout the whole world. The federal structure of the Canadian government has influenced the the culture and tradition of Canada up to a great extent. Due to this cultural mingling, the socio-politico-economic matters were greatly influenced. The Canadian culture get its best exposition through the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) and Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).

From the very origination of the Canadian culture, it was founded over the multicultural aspects. The European colonies, American intruders and the Aboriginals have contributed up to a great extent to this greatly discussed multiculturalism in Canada. Starting from social to entertainment aspects, everywhere tremendous influence of all these genres are explicitly identifiable. Except that, according to the census of 2001, Canada is the residence of more than 200 ethnic groups and due to the cultural intercourse among the people of these 200 ethnic groups in Canada, a great racial and religious diversity is clearly visible. Still in spite of such racial and cultural diversification, the harmonious existence among the people of these groups exist together in an extremely healthy and harmonious environment. Canada has always welcomed the culture and tradition of the other nations and the basic cultural foundation of Canada is based upon the multiculturalism and bilingualism. In the modern world, on the context of religious and cultural diversity, we have seen several blood shedding incidents took place. Amidst such scenario, the cultural harmony of Canada is really encouraging and it can be a great example against all those races which are fighting among themselves over the trivial matters and corrupting the greatest religion, that is Humanism.
