There is no one Canadian Identity. Canada is a Confederation of many Nations and cultures each with their own identity.

Many had very active temperance movements, some that continue to this day.

Others rejected such ideas and benefited from the results of temperance movements in Canada and the United States.

Exporting alcohol into areas of prohibition was very profitable and helped show that many Canadians saw themselves as distinct from the Americans. It fueled the Us and Them feelings that have always been part of many Canadian cultures.

Prohibition fueled Canadian alcohol industry and in particular hard liquor. Before the successes of the temperance movements Canadians where not as interested in Whiskey and other high alcohol spirits. Beer and Wine are still number one but thanks to prohibition Whiskey and Rum remain popular.
