No, there is no "Canadian" identity. Canada is a Confederation of many Nations and cultures, each with their own identity.

The fur trade has played a large role in many of those Nations and Cultures but each has it's own interpretation. For example if your culture was trapping and trading the furs you would have one view. On the other hand if your ancestors were taking the furs to Europe for resale you would have a different view on how the fur trade shaped your identity. If your ancestors bought furs from others and traded to yet others who then sold the furs on the open market you would have yet another view on how the fur trade shaped your identity.

If your forefathers never traded in furs and only used the routes created by fur traders you would have yet another view of the fur trade.

The fur trade help create Canada but Canada is a Confederation of many nations, each with it's own history.
