Canadianism or Canadian patriotism is patriotism involving the cultural attachment of Canadians to Canada as their homeland. It has been identified as related, though in some cases distinct, to Canadian nationalism.[1]
In contemporary times, this patriotism has increasingly centred on the principles of official bilingualism, civic nationalism, that reflects the cultural mosaic of Canada.
These principles contribute to the formation of a cohesive and distinct Canadian identity. [2]
