50 years ago, Canadian Culture was a non-existent.  My family was all British.  The began coming here in the 50's.  British food sucked.  British service sucked. British-based Canadian TV entertainment sucked. Fun didn't exist. What has made Canada interesting and worth remaining in comes from the other the cultures that came flooding in. Think I'm wrong?  When was the last time you ordered fish and chips?  How many songs of bagpipers are on your playlist? I'll trade all that for Tapas or Calamari or Curry or Dim Sum.  I'd rather celebrate Oktoberfest than St. George's day - but keep St. Paddy's day - and listen to Reggae.
