Canadianness
Maple leaf spirit
Canadianness is the quality of being distinctly Canadian—the cultural traits, attitudes, and characteristics associated with Canada and its people.
The term often encompasses politeness, multiculturalism, and a certain self-deprecating humor: There's a quiet Canadianness to his work.
It may also suggest defining oneself partly in contrast to American culture.
