“Imitation—to repeat or copy; to follow as a pattern, model or example. To trace and replicate, with slight adjustments. The process of imitation first requires an infrastructure to mirror. The selected ‘thing’ to imitate can be anything: an object, a person, an idea, a system, a concept. Once successfully mirrored, people, systems, collectives, and nations can inject their imitation wherever and however one chooses. Canada is a colonial nation built on the process of imitating itself after its predecessors and its contemporaries. Analyzing Canada’s replicated and regurgitated symbols and culture, we can begin to further deconstruct and understand how these symbols propagate ideals and images of white Canada within itself and beyond. Upon analyzing myself, a white Canadian, and the objects and symbols that surround myself and my Canadian family, the symbols I found that encased themselves with meanings explicitly Canadian were images of hockey—its equipment, people, location, and collective meanings. Hockey, both the image of hockey and the act of playing hockey, has behaved across Canada for decades as a conduit for politics, spoken language, and violence. Imitating symbols of hockey, with slight adjustments, reveals the hidden underbelly of how hockey engages and perpetuates the realities of white Canada. These slight adjustments of the imitated objects include altering the symbols’ original materiality and medium, such as re-presenting hockey gloves, players, and sticks. By selectively altering aspects of these explicitly culturally Canadian symbols, I aim to prompt and encourage viewers to question how these symbols function as perpetrators of Canadian whiteness and not just as symbols of hockey. ”
