Canadian nationalism is a loose term which has been applied to ideologies of several different types which promote specifically Canadian interests over those of other countries, notably the United States. It has also been applied to movements promoting pride in the nation, race, culture, heritage, general values or traditions of Canada, though there is usually a distinction drawn between Canadian nationalism and more general patriotism.
Most self-identified Canadian nationalists today are generally members of the mainstream left and oppose the economic and cultural "Americanization" of Canada. There are some right-wing nationalists, and they will generally put more emphasis on preserving Canada's British and French heritage. What all Canadian nationalists have in common is an interest in at least one of the following:
- Appreciation of the great historic epics and national myths of Canadian history
- Preservation of national unity
- Preservation of economic independence
- Preservation of political independence
- Preservation or promotion of Canadian culture
In general, Canadian nationalists are highly concerned about the protection of Canadian sovereignty. It has likewise often been suggested that anti-Americanism, or at least hostility towards the United States often plays a prominent role in Canadian nationalist ideologies. When nationalists speak of "independence", it is widely understood that the actual meaning is "independence from the United States". Canadian nationalists may in fact promote stronger ties to other nations, and encourage closer integration with the European Union or the United Nations as a way of offsetting US influences.
