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?
Didn't they even mention the Dr. Bethune? I think he and dashan are the most famous canadians that chinese peopel ever known.
