When the topic of Canada comes up among peoples‚ immediately the thought of ice hockey‚ the Mounted Police‚ and beavers comes to mind. In fact‚ Canada has truly lost its true identity that we once knew. It is slowly being assimilated and in fact “Americanized” in aspects of social identity‚ national identity‚ and cultural identity. First‚ Canada is being slowly “Americanized” in its social identity. When we talk about a country’s social identity‚ we examine a few

However the role of the monarchy in Canadian history cannot be denied. The same could be said of the Nazis; or the Mohawks and Laura Secord. However the Monarchy offers dimension to our history.
