Canada And America

[Techno]

What are some differences between Canada and America? What are some similaries?

[Shagger]

I wouldn't assume too much about the similarities and differences between these two countries just because they share a border.

There’s a lot of differences and just about as many similarities. A few differences include

1.) America uses the imperial system and Canada is metric.

2.) Canadians get their milk in bags, we get it in jugs.

3.) Pronunciation varies on many things. One of the most notable to me is the last letter of the alphabet. We say “zee” they say “zed”.

4.) Sizing is wildly different. Canada covers more land, but their population is 10% that of the US. Our population is roughly 350 million. Theirs, despite larger in land than us, is roughly 35 million. If you think about California and NY, we have more than them in 2 combined states. Actually I would almost be willing to bet that NY alone has as many people as Canada.

5.) They have either 5 or 6 major political parties, whereas we only have 2 major parties, and several minor ones.

6.) They have a prime minister, we have a president.

7.) Canadians, while not all rainbows and sunshine are generally quite friendly. Americans are entitled , greedy, and narcissistic.

Off the top of my head, that’s all I can think of. There’s loads more, but those are the only ones that come to mind at the moment.

America doesn’t have to deal with Scott, who’s a dick.

I thought about mentioning Canada being to England what Puerto Rico is to the US, but decided against it.

Actually, there are quite a few differences as well in terms of culture to add to what @The Blackangel said.
