To tell the truth no one can answer this question, it is all based on perception. Some people may say it is how many years you have spent in Canada or some people may say if you love hockey. This question is quite perplexing.

But not so perplexing for those with roots in the land going back hundreds of years.
There is no "Canadian" identity. Canada is a Confederation of many Nations, each with it's own history and cultures, often many cultures.
To suggest there is a Canadian identity is like suggesting there is an Asian identity. Sure there may be some common stereotypes seen by people from outside the area but for those inside the area they would not see a common identity Common causes, common histories maybe but each group has it's own identity.

There is no "Canadian Identity". Canada is a Confederation of many Nations each with many cultures and their own identity. One of those Nations include Ontario who saw Western Canada as their own. When those living in Western Canada rebelled against colonization by Canada many people in Ontario took it as an insult on many levels. Rebellions were not acceptable. The response was swift and violent and resulted in Canada, mostly Ontario, creating a paramilitary police force that would be permanently stationed in the West to keep the rebellious locals in check. In that way it shows that those from the Province of Canada are violently opposed to others having input in a Confederation their consider theirs and theirs alone.

It is important to study Canadian black history in order to understand the influences that have shaped Canadian culture today. It is important to understand the roots of the Canadian black population.

The CBC can influence Canadian identity through its programming that showcases diverse stories, perspectives, and cultures from across the country. By promoting Canadian content and facilitating national conversations, the CBC helps shape a collective sense of pride, belonging, and shared values among Canadians. Additionally, its coverage of important events, issues, and cultural initiatives can contribute to shaping and reflecting the evolving Canadian identity.

Not so much. There is no one Canadian identity. Canada is a Confederation of many Nations and cultures. Within those cultures there are very different ideas of what is and what is not Social Justice. For example many Multi-Generational Canadians feel very strongly that a persons race should not determine their access to jobs, or government resources or anything of significance when dealing with government. But the Canadian government is a very strong supporter of Aboriginal rights based on race and has laws ensuring Aboriginals can live in racial segregated communities. Social Justice is important but it means something different to each group of Canadians so is not linked to an overall Canadian identity. UNLESS of course we are talking about the culture that has created the Canadian system which includes racial and cultural discrimination. Canadians from those cultures would say their identity is linked to social justice because they created it. They would also claim to be the only "real" Canadians. They would naturally answer yes, and they would down play any idea that Canada is a Confederation of Nations.
