In general, Canadian nationalists are concerned about the protection of Canadian sovereignty and loyalty to the [[Monarchy of Canada|Canadian State]], placing them in the [[Liberal nationalism|civic nationalist]] category. It has likewise often been suggested that [[anti-Americanism]] plays a prominent role in Canadian nationalist ideologies.<ref name="O'Connor2007">{{cite book|first=Brendon|last=O'Connor|title=Anti-Americanism: Comparative perspectives|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Jq4FMb47AnEC&pg=PA59|year=2007|publisher=Greenwood Publishing Group|isbn=978-1-84645-026-6|page=59}}</ref> A unified, bi-cultural, tolerant and sovereign Canada remains an ideological inspiration to many Canadian nationalists.<ref name="Russell2004">{{cite book|first=Peter H.|last=Russell|title=Constitutional odyssey: can Canadians become a sovereign people?|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=M9sTM3z4XsAC&pg=PA156|year= 2004|publisher=University of Toronto Press|isbn=978-0-8020-3777-0|page=156}}</ref> Alternatively [[Quebecois nationalism]] and support for maintaining [[French Canadian]] culture many of whom were supporters of the [[Quebec sovereignty movement]] during the late-20th century.<ref name="Clift1982">{{cite book|first=Dominique|last=Clift|title=Quebec nationalism in crisis|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ArsBP5Efqx4C&pg=PA106|year=1982|publisher=McGill-Queen's University Press |isbn=978-0-7735-0383-0|pages=106–108}}</ref>

Cultural protectionism in Canada has, since the mid-20th century, taken the form of conscious, interventionist attempts on the part of various Canadian governments to promote Canadian cultural production.<ref name="Rowe2010">{{cite book|author=John Carlos Rowe|title=A Concise Companion to American Studies|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XkA2rdpS0JIC&pg=PA393|year= 2010|publisher=John Wiley and Sons|isbn=978-1-4051-0924-6|page=393}}</ref> Sharing a [[Canada–United States border|large border]], a common language (for the majority), and being exposed to massive diffusions of American [[Media (communication)|media]] makes it difficult for Canada to preserve its own culture versus being assimilated to [[American culture]]. While Canada tries to maintain its cultural differences, it also must balance this with responsibility in trade arrangements such as the [[General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade]] (GATT) and the [[United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement]] (USMCA).<ref name="Raboy1990">{{cite book|first=Marc|last=Raboy|title=Missed opportunities: the story of Canada's broadcasting policy|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sJDctK2WgHIC&pg=PA301|year= 1990|publisher=McGill-Queen's University Press |isbn=978-0-7735-0775-3|page=301}}</ref>
