Government policies such as publicly-funded health care, higher taxation to distribute wealth, outlawing capital punishment, strong efforts to eliminate poverty, an emphasis on multiculturalism, stricter gun control, and legalization of same-sex marriage are social indicators of how Canada's political and cultural evolution differs from that of the United States.

Many Canadians value multiculturalism and see Canada as being inherently multicultural.[61] American media and entertainment are popular, if not dominant, in English Canada; conversely, many Canadian cultural products and entertainers are successful in the United States and worldwide. Many cultural products are marketed toward a unified "North American" or global market. The creation and preservation of distinctly Canadian culture are supported by federal government programs, laws, and institutions such as the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), the National Film Board of Canada, and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.

where did this custom at all? He came from France. In the 16th century introduced a new calendar. New Year, which began on April 1, is now postponed to 1 January - but since then news traveled very slowly (well, they had no radio or TV, no internet!) - And some have continued for some time to celebrate New Year in April, for which they teased "April fools."
Gradually the custom of fooling friends and family, they mound in the sugar bowl salt and pepper in a pie (sweet such jokes), and even call duped "April fish" went from France to walk all over the world, so much so until now and walks with might and main
