    CANADA

    POWER DISTANCE

    With a score of 39 in this group, Canadian culture is distinguished by a high degree of


    interconnectedness and egalitarianism among its inhabitants. There are no evident variations in
    social class or rank, which is another indication of this. (Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions - Mind
    Map, n.d.) As in other low-scoring cultures, order in Canadian organizations is established for
    comfort, bosses are always accessible, and managers rely on delegates for their perspective.

    INDIVIDUALISM

    Canada gets a 80 on this aspect (the most extreme conceivable) and is delegated a Maverick
    culture. Similar to its neighbor in southern America, this results in a loosely connected society in
    which individuals are expected to take care of themselves and their immediate families.
    (Individualism in Canadian and American political cultures, n.d.)

    MASCULINITY

    Canada ranks 52 on this scale, making it appear to be a rather "masculine" society. Canadians, in
    opposition to Americans, aim for excellent levels of achievement in both their jobs and their free
    time (sports). The overall societal tone is more restrained in terms of success, victory, and
    accomplishment.

    ORIENTATION

    On this scale, Canada scores a 36, which denotes that it has a typical society. Those who live in
    such civilizations are most concerned with the ultimate Truth. They think in a conventional
    manner. They tend to spend modestly for the future, place a great value on custom, and they
    possess a strong need for instant pleasure. (Canada - Language, Culture, Customs and Etiquette,
    2019)
