- aga98mtl 4y agoI mostly agree with the exception of Quebec. Much of canadianness is taking french-canadian symbols & culture and saying: "See we are not americans!"
- bombcar 4y agoBut Quebec seems so much like discount France it’s hard to tell the difference. I feel all of the Americas needed a couple hundred more years without mass transit and light speed communications to really develop separate identities. As it is Minnesota isn’t called “little Canada” for nothing: it can be hard to really distinguish.
- cardy31 4y agoLol Americans call me out almost immediately as being Canadian just because of my accent. There are many important differences between the two cultures. The most important IMO is being less hellbent on “freedom” and understanding that sometimes sacrificing a small amount of personal liberty for the greater good is the right thing to do.
