If there's anything distinctly Canadian - truly, than the US, is that it is officially bilingual. Of course, almost no one in English speaking Canada can speak a lick of French because of how awful French language classes are - you can get an A yet remember nothing.


I mean what would be an example of art that would (naturally or contrived) express a Canadian point of view? What does an aesthetic shorthand for it look like?


- Paintings by the Group of Seven

- The music of Newfoundland and Cape Breton, Nova Scotia

- the writing of Nobel Prize winner Alice Munro

- the work of Métis artisans (clothing, decorative arts)

- music of The Tragically Hip


Thanks!
