Canadian popular media is heavily influenced by America. Easy access to broadcast media has brought many American influences into Canadian culture since the mid20th century. As a reaction, many Canadians attempt to define Canadian culture by their heritage (Canadian Heritage Moment Commercials, Beer Brewing history, peacekeeping, hockey history) and values as different from those of the United States.

Confusing the issue further, many Canadian entertainers and Canadian entertainment companies are often assumed to be American performers or American basedcompanies. Also, Americans and Canadian alike, often, assume certain cultural phenomena started in the USA and were later

So a disciplined, conservative Italian who attempts to shun the limelight, avoids late nights and socialises outside football circles would appear to be their man.

Many Estonian sports heroes have been immortalised in art. For example Amandus Adamson's bronze sculpture of Georg Lurich. Before independence, Estonians were the best in the whole Russian empire in athletics (16 records out of 29), wrestling and weightlifting. Estonian sport was therefore born before the independent state. Several great figures of national politics, among them the first president Konstantin Päts, belonged to the sports association.
