"The beginning of Canadian cultural nationalism was not 'Am I really that oppressed?' but 'Am I really that boring?'"

This quote by Margaret Atwood talks to the idea of Canadian cultural nationalism, which is the concept that Canada has its own unique culture and identity that need to be celebrated and protected. Atwood suggests that the beginning of this movement was not a concern of injustice, but rather a question of whether or not Canadian culture was intriguing and worth preserving. This quote speaks to the idea that Canadian culture was seen as dull and dull, and that the movement to preserve it was driven by a desire to make it more fascinating and unique. This quote also speaks to the idea that Canadian culture is something to be proud of, and that it deserves maintaining and commemorating. It is a suggestion that Canadian culture is something to be happy with, which it must be commemorated and preserved.
