Using data from the International Social Science Programme, this essay presents evidence that most Canadians have a strong national identity rooted in universal conceptions that everyone can share, such as citizenship. Data also show, however, that a growing number of Canadians define their national identity narrowly, such as through birthplace and religion. Drawing on research from social psychology, the essay suggests that theories of Canadian identity need to take into account the fact that many Canadians have strong national identities that do not fit cleanly into the civic/ethnic theoretical dichotomy. L'opinion publique sur l'identité nationale au Canada évolue. À l'aide de données tirées du programme international des sciences sociales (ISSP), cet article présente des preuves que la plupart des Canadiens possèdent une identité nationale solide enracinée dans des concepts universels que tout le monde peut partager, comme la citoyenneté. Toutefois, ces données montrent aussi qu'un nombre croissant de Canadiens définissent leur identité nationale de façon étroite, comme par le lieu de naissance et la religion. En s'inspirant de recherches de psychologie sociale, l'article suggère que les théories sur l'identité canadienne devraient tenir compte du fait que beaucoup de Canadiens ont une forte identité nationale qui ne s'intègre pas facilement dans la dichotomie théorique civique/ethnique. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Essay src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Canadian Studies is the property of University of Toronto Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
