About this Quote

Geddy Lee's quote speaks with the distinct cultural identity of Canada. He recommends that Canada stands out from the United States in that it is strongly connected to the customs of Britain. This could describe the reality that Canada was a British nest for several years, which a number of its laws and customs are based upon British designs. It could also describe the reality that lots of Canadians still identify strongly with their British heritage, and that this is reflected in their culture. This could be seen in the way that Canadians celebrate holidays such as Christmas and Easter, which are rooted in British customs. Furthermore, Canada's main language is English, which is also the language of Britain. All of these elements contribute to the unique cultural identity of Canada, which is various from that of the United States.
