You are very ignorant here are some examples of Canadian Culture:

Film : World renouned directors Denis Arcand and Atom Egoyan, In my opinion
"The Adjuster" is the greatest movie ever made. The Gimli festival
is a world renound hotspot for avant-garde cinema.

Visual art:  The Group of Seven are among the greatest landscape artists ever.
(Lismer,Jackson,Varley,Harris,etc...)

Architecture: Joseph Cardinal, Moshe Safdi are among the greatest living
architects

Literature: Robertson Davies, Mordeccai Richler, Margeret Lawrence
and Margeret Atwood

This is not meant to be a "My daddy could beat up you daddy" whine or a 
statement that Canada is somehow better than anywhere else (Though the U.N.
says it is HA! HA! HA! HA!). I am merely sick of all this Canadian
Culture=screaming-hockey-molson-drinking-Bob+Doug Mackenzie-have-another
brewski-EH!-being-cold bullshit.
