There is no such thing as a "Canadian" culture anymore than there is a single Global Culture. Canada is a Confederation of many Nations, each with many peoples and cultures. Some of those cultures date back thousands of years, some hundreds and most just a few decades. Most Canadians have very shallow family roots in Canada with 38% not being born in Canada or having at least one parent not born in Canada. With that in mind "Immigrants" are Canadian culture, just as they are Global Culture. BTW in Canada "Immigrants" are considered First Generation and their children Second Generation. This is different than most countries because once a person becomes Canadian they get all the rights and benefits, sometimes even more, than those whose families have been in Canada for hundreds of years. Also those whose families have been here for hundreds of years do not force their culture on others, not even their children. Multi-Generational Canadians have a very live and let live culture and think it is wrong to force others to change their culture. Of course this is not the case for all Multi-Generational Canadian cultures as there are some who have made laws that force their language and culture on new comers. Aside from that minority most Canadians respect other cultures and do not force their culture, or even share their culture as much as others. It is the main quality of Canadians that people like. People who come to Canada have, generally speaking, kept their culture.
the rebellions happened because of the rebellions in lower Canada and they wanted a change in their government as well
At confederation there were four provinces. As time progressed more provinces and territorities became parts of Canada, some territorities became provinces and part of Canada was annexed by the United States. For more details you might consider reading the wikipedia article about Canada.
== == A large number of the returning military vets took advantage of the FREE University education that was offered to them by the Canadian Government. That significantly increased the number of professional degree holders who went on to become the Doctors, Engineers and others who contributed to boom in Canada throughout the 50's and 60's. Another factor was the huge increase in births, from 1946 to 1960, as those same Vets fathered a record number of kids, all of whom would require new homes to live in, new schools to attend, new parks to play in and lots of new toys, clothes and food. New cars to ride in and new TV and appliances, and new stores to shop in. A BOOM time, with very low un-employment, and thousands of new houses and schools being built. After as much as 6 years of being away from Canada, the veterans wanted peace and stability in the country, and demanded that the politicians make it work and run smoothly. Giant projects were begun like the LeDuc oil fields, and the St Lawrence Seaway, and the Distant Early Warning System of northern radar stations to give advance warning of possible Russian bomber attacks. The industrial plants that had been building war-time equipment went back to making consumer goods like fridges and stoves, and cars. The new found incomes were used to buy new things, and the Canadian economy was BOOMING.
The great debate was the debate between Canada and the British colony to change the flag. There was one thing that was in their way, and that was the British wanting to stay as one flag. A debate was held for 6 months until John.A.Mcdonald decided to pass the flag, of the maple leaf. GO CANADA GO!!!!
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Canada's seventh Prime Minister, is renowned for several significant accomplishments, including promoting national unity and fostering Canadian nationalism. He championed the development of the Canadian West through immigration and railway expansion, notably the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Laurier also played a crucial role in establishing a more independent Canadian foreign policy and advocated for the rights of French Canadians, helping to bridge linguistic divides in the country. His leadership during a period of economic growth and social change left a lasting impact on Canada's political landscape.
He didn't change Canada. He had a tremendous influence on early aviation and the development of the Royal Canadian Airforce, but he didn't change the country. He contributed to it's development.

Because it connected the country, east to west. It opened up the west to development and industry. Trading was easier because of this. it was created by the navie and the white men, who where promissed land if they did it.
No. Only from Mexico to Canada (now you require a visa issued by the Canadian government if you wish to travel to Canada)
Bev Oda was the first Japanese-Canadian to be elected to parliament.
The Canadian Flag changed from either the Union Jack or The Red Ensign. This change was made because nationalists wanted Canada to have its own identity. The Loyalists wanted to stay loyal to Britain. There was a debate for the flag change. So later Queen Elizabeth 2 signed a proclamation that authorized Canada to have its own flag.

The Canadian economy shadows the American economy but to a lesser degree. Due to Canada relying on American imports and exports there was a large change in cross-border cash flow which affected the Canadian economy. There are items such as the housing market which are far stronger in Canada.
Canadian car odometers transitioned to metric measurements in 1977. This change was part of Canada's broader shift to the metric system, which aimed to standardize measurements across the country. Consequently, vehicles sold in Canada after this date featured odometers displaying distances in kilometers instead of miles.
Well, I am still looking for the answer myself. Sorry.
Yes, because many places will not accept American currency.
