During the past decade there have been numerous reports, both official and.
academic that imply that Canada has finally blossomed into the liberated, independent and admirable nation that it so desired to in the past. Independent meaning, one who is not subject to control by others, but that is not the case with Canada. Although the citizens of Canada believe that Canada is an affluent and soviet nation, it has never actual been independent; instead it has allowed itself to be mocked by other nations. In the 19th century Canada was under the British Empire and now in the 21st century, Canada is apart of the new American Empire. Manifest Destiny has always been on the minds of the Americans when its northern neighbor was involved, although the United States failed in its attempts to annex Canada; it somehow has gained unlimited economic power and control over Canada. Through migration and immigration, there has been a significant degree of intermingling between the citizens of the two countries over the generations. In the course of the 20th century they have developed the largest bilateral trading relationship in the world, Canada and the United States also have shared a common political, economic, cultural and geographic heritage over the past two centuries. The United States of America has made itself so disposable to Canada, that Canada not only began to look towards the United States for approval but it also became dependant on the United States for prosperity. .
The people of Canada have been exposed to the American culture through.
technological advancements of the twentieth century, like the radio and television. The influence of the American culture on Canada has been met with minimal resistance; in fact, the American culture has always been welcomed in Canada. It has often been said through politicians that "its this kind of diversity that makes Canada unique," but in this case, the American culture has dominated any traces of the Canadian culture.
