Canada traditions

Traditions-of-Canada-1
Canada is a country that receives more tourists every year and arouses greater interest, partly thanks to the wonderful landscapes that can be enjoyed and the great variety of cities and towns that can be found. It is a country with many traditions and with a great cultural mix in all of them thanks to having been inhabited in its origins by Indians, Eskimos, French and English. It is precisely these last two types of inhabitants that still exist, although the differences between them are many.

Canadians of French origin differ from those of English origins not only in their language but also in their character and the traditions they follow. French Canadians are of very conservative and Catholic ideas, having in a family the man as the "boss" of the same. For their part, Anglo-Canadians are more liberal and do not give as much importance to the past that has brought them here, although that does not mean that they do not respect their ancestors. Take note of the most important traditions in Canada :

Winter Carnival : It takes place in Québec and in it there are a lot of parades full of music, dances, ice sculptures and even a great snow slide. During it there are also several sporting events that have snow as the protagonist, such as ice skating.
