For Dominion Day (July 1), now known has Canada Day, I did an English Corner about Canada. I asked the students what they knew about Canada. I was amused to see they didn't know much. What they did tell me was this: Vancouver, Toronto, Cold, French and Maple Leaf. Most told me that they knew nothing about Canada.
When I was in Canada, I am sure that I remember that they had a government department dedicated toward making Canada more well-known in the world. Or was it that they boasted of Canada's soft power having such influence in the world?
