Opine (definition: to state one's opinion)
To begin, find a Canadian stereotype that intrigues, empowers, infuriates,(mis)represents you: research it. Where did it come from? What is its historical/political/cultural context? Why is it still present in today's culture? Perhaps if it isn't still relevant, how was it able to dissipate?
Once you have thoroughly investigated the context and root of the stereotype, engage with it: Contemplate it, analyze it, let it affect your general outlook. This dialogue or relationship is where the concept will come from. You can ask questions such as: What is the contemporary counterpart of this stereotype? Is there an aspect of it that is a gross overgeneralization? What is going underrepresented? Why are these stereotypes perpetuated internationally? How does this stereotype effect how the international community views us? Are these stereotypes perpetuated within Canada's borders (provincially, municipally)?
Essentially, the framework should be: find a stereotype, understand its context, and then critique it. Choose - Contextualize - Contemporize
The goal is to create a dialogue grounded in critical analysis: to depict Canada from the perspectives of those who define it.
