    Canada’s day-to-day culture is very American.

    I wouldn’t say that. Yes, we consume American media but Canadians are more socially aware of their surroundings. Americans are very selfish. Crabs in a bucket mentality. Canadians, in general, consider the social body as a whole.

    I’ve lived in both the US and Canada for extended amounts of time. Canadians are just better people.

      I’ve lived in the US and Canada for extended amounts of time, but I’ve also lived in Europe and Australia. From the point of view of someone living outside North America, there’s very little difference between Americans and Canadians culturally.

      It all depends on your perspective. If you’ve never left LA you might say there are massive cultural differences between people in Lakewood and Lawndale. And, I’m sure there are some differences. But, an outsider might have a different opinion.
