It's about whatever comes to my mind. Nature, science, religion, history, folklore, legends, myths, music, women, sports, and even communism.
Yes, in Canada it's the good socialism, which is really like a capitalism with a communal conscience. A spirit of enterprise prevails but it doesn't overpower our human sensibility. We all belong to this great commonwealth, so I suppose you could call it commonwealthism. The things we hold truly in common or which no one can really fairly say they own without a big fight we share in the profit of. It's as close to the perfect socialism as you can get without becoming a dictatorship. The logic of socialism is sometime forgotten by Canadians and we all can appreciate some tax breaks, but the logic of sharing what is rightfully held 'in common wealth" has made Canada a very safe and prosperous society. It's more like a family thing than a political party, in some regard Canadian hold dear the idea they are part of one human family. We don't always agree about brotherhood, personally I have struggled with that, but in some abstract way we still are.
Do people in Canada believe in God and which God? Nowadays Canadians believe in many Gods and none. Technically the God of the national anthem is the God of the Christians, which the Muslims also claim is their God. I think there is disagreement over this. Some people claim the God of the Canadians is really the God of the Danes - !
Lo! praise of the prowess of people-kings
of spear-armed Danes, in days long sped,
we have heard, and what honor the athelings won!
Oft Scyld the Scefing from squadroned foes,
from many a tribe, the mead-bench tore,
awing the earls. Since erst he lay
friendless, a foundling, fate repaid him:
for he waxed under welkin, in wealth he throve,
till before him the folk, both far and near,
who house by the whale-path, heard his mandate,
gave him gifts: a good king he!
