This article advances the concept of ‘state culture' as an alternative way of understanding and analyzing the construction and maintenance of nations. State culture refers to the values projected through different state actors and institutions and represented in their policies, practices and literature – it tells us what it means to be part of the political community and what values are central to belonging. Using the concept of state culture as an analytical tool, the article proceeds to explore the contradictions between Canada, as represented by the state, and the claims of sub-national groups through a critical discourse analysis of the materials distributed by the Canadian state to newcomers and potential citizens. Ultimately, this paper reveals the values embedded within these important socialization documents and exposes the myths about the ‘Canadian nation' contained within them.

This interview explores Canada's response to the war in Ukraine since February 2022. The consensus that emerged among Canadian political parties framing the war as an aggression of Ukraine by an imperialistic Russia seems to weaken two years later. A fraction of Conservative voters reproduces patterns that can be observed among Republican voters in the US, namely an isolationist temptation and the idea that Canada is “doing too much” to militarily support of Ukraine. However, this idea is in full contradiction with Canada's actual commitment. Not only is Canada rather a follower of the US and of European allies of Ukraine but there is gap between Canada's official rhetoric and its effective military support to Kyiv. This “relaxed” relation of Canada to the war in Ukraine, its strategic dependence on the US, and its insufficient level of military spending within NATO are evidence of its limited strategic autonomy.
