Abstract

Despite how culturally similar contemporary Australia and Canada are on the surface—both multicultural nations with common colonial roots where English is the predominant language—their cultural values, as reflected by Australia’s and Canada’s contrasting personalities, are not identical. How each society evolved seems linked to the disproportionate effect culturally influential Anglo-Celtic groups had in each society. Although Australia and Canada received immigrants from throughout the British Isles in their formative periods, their proportion was not the same. Contrary to the Canadian experience, the Irish of Australia appear to have profoundly influenced the Australian national character. The question that needs to be answered is how.
