HAVE

What is it/How does it fit?

Milk in a bag is not unique to Canada, it is preferred in some Eastern European countries along with India. However it is still considered an anomaly by many people and places. Bags were adopted because they create less waste than plastic jugs, though they are less convenient.

Milk bags are physical objects that many people in Canada have. It is not a big thing or even an important difference but in many ways Canada culture is similar to other Western countries. An added difference is how it was shaped and influenced by a variety of other cultures. In this case it is important to note that the usage of this product came about by being environmentally aware.

THINK

Christianity is the predominant religion is Canada, remnants of European settlers than first colonized Canada. Some 80% of Canadians are Christian, which is approximately 28,128,000 people. The major divisions are Roman Catholicism, the United Church and the Orthodox tradition.

Religion is fundamental to a person’s beliefs as it influences the major aspects of their life. There is no one universally accepted truth, which makes it very much a think, as you get to make up your own mind. Despite its prevalence among Canadians the country is still religiously diverse but lacks an establishment clause separating church and state.

DO

Winter sports are popular in Canada in part because of the climate, which makes being involved in those sports more logical. There are many different kinds of winter sports but some popular ones are skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing and ice hockey. Normally confined to the winter there are many locations, indoors or further north, where these activities can be enjoyed year round.

Winter sports is a “do” because it covers a variety of activities that you participate in. It is something that can be done professionally or for pure entertainment. It attracts people of all ages and throughout the year.
