Why are there so many cultural differences between the US and Canada?

Why are there so many cultural differences between the US and Canada?

There aren't. There's barely any. Canada is just midwest US +.

That's the biggest complaint that Canadians have: no cultural identity.

...

I went to Montreal and it was pretty different than the US

Have you been to the midwest?

Quebec has lobbied for autonomy many times for this very reason.

I went to midwest and (almost) got shot

Only place different from the US in Canada is Quebec.

Canada is literally just America, but politically more liberal.

why there are so many cultural differences between your neighbour from 2 floors up and you?

OBSESSED

Minneapolis or Milwaukee?

Whhhhhhhhhhere

Canada uses metric, we don't
Canada is hugely socialist, we arent'
Canada uses British spellings in a lot of words, we don't

> this is the biggest complaint Canadians have

On Sup Forums maybe, in real life you're more likely to hear people complaining how were becoming too much like the states (crime, litter, rudeness, partisan politics/ads).

Not all of the US is rude, just major cities. I think that you're going to find that all giant cities are filled to the brim with assholes.

so the same thing but politically more liberal

There aren't that many; from my experience Ontario is just a Great Lakes State with Metric Road Signs and Plastic Money.

Chicago, Milwaukee, and Detroit aren't really the "Midwest" 2bh.

Here is a handy chart.
Everything west of Québec is just "AMERICA LITE: NOW WITH 40% MORE MAPLE MOOSE HOCKEY!!!"

Québec, Newfoundland, and the Maritimes are noticeably distinct from America and actually have something resembling a unique culture.

Canada is America but with more Chinese and Indians

I have no idea. I got culture shock when I ventured up to Toronto or "Tronna" as the local dialect pronounces it.

This is such bullshit. Stupid FUCKign ignorant American.
Canada has TIM HORTENS, Maple syrup, HOCKEY, the mounties. Oh and a little thing called REDDIT.

You want to talk shit about my country American? BITCH? Well FUCK YOU. CANADA = freEE HEALTHCARE FAG

can me and the europeans all agree that AMERCIANS are the worst posters?

How's that? It's literally just a run of the mill North American city.

st. louis My truck got bullet holes for some reason.

...

Reddit is an American website.

He's not wrong.

>Québec, Newfoundland, and the Maritimes are noticeably distinct from America and actually have something resembling a unique culture.
Any examples? genuinely interested desu. For some reason I'm imagining they're comfy.

I would experience more of a culture shock crossing the road than you would travelling to Canada. Cute thread.

They used metric (sometimes) and said "oout" instead of "out"

Was pretty overwhelmed iiagtbqhwyhf (If I am going to be quite honest with you here family)

>St. Louis
Why did you go to hell?

I find that most Americans coming into Canada are total cunts. But most Americans I've met in America have been really friendly. I don't really know why it works like that.

Using metric is a big difference

I can't conceptualize anything in metric

Are you so different?

Because the only reason to go to canada (other than to railroad quebecios qts) is to get drunk legally if you're under 21.

So does that mean Canada has out-America'd America?

On the border with Scotland, I assume?

Jesus Christ, that's probably the second-worst city in the US behind only Detroit tbqhwy.

These; that was the only difference (other than the money) that was really unsettling.

Perhaps they're comparatively wealthy, or maybe we're forcing them out lol.

Americans who leave america are

>Coming over for work, probably business
>Absolute worthless, whingey scabs who wanted to "move to canada" to escape the US when it was made clear no one liked them

They leave the US like it's going to change something, but they're just taking their bad attitudes with them.

I was helping to evacuate one of my relatives. She wanted to gtfo of her nigger majority neighborhood.

fucking DICKSHIT Canada has TIM HORTENS fucker

Makes sense

Owned by BURGER KING

Having paki rape gangs is pretty shocking

Where did she move to?

St louis isn't the midwest

some town near Calgary in a very very white neighborhood with absolutely zero niggers.

Great improvement, tbqh

Missouri isn't Midwest?

>Milwaukee
Teehee you're black~

This is the midwest

Examples in what area? They have things unique in pretty much every aspect of life, or at least if not unique, more in keeping with the European styles than North American. Only fashion and some sports are really the same as most of America, art, literature, music, accents, language, history, food. religion, politics, jobs, etc, are all different than what you would find in most of the U.S.

Is Milwaukee's flag so bad the Extra Flags Extension doesn't even show it?

You're an idiot

no this is midwest thats north midwest

You sent someone trying to get away from violent minorities to fucking Calgary?

So it does look comfy

I somehow really doubt that.

>Wiscucksin education

That's because your an idiot

Very comfy

It's always funny to see then crawl back to the U.S. after living in Canada for a bit

I think I have an old version of extra flags, FIB.

Nah, when you say midwest, my map is what you mean if you live there.

>You sent someone trying to get away from violent minorities to fucking Calgary?
No its a small ass town in near calgary in the fucking middle of nowhere if you ask me familia

You should. Quebecers on Sup Forums love fellating themselves.

...

No honestly everything i hear about quebec just sounds like someone visited a hipster neighborhood in a city

...

That's a tall glass of water for a state that has more broken Heineken bottles than grass.

I spent a week roofing houses in your desolate wasteland, and I've seen enough drunken indians to not want to return.

besides Quebec and the Maritimes Canada literally has no natural cultural differences from America. Some things like their retarded accent were forced but other than that they are literally just edgy smug Americans.

...

...

This is the first time I've heard of Canadians being described as edgy.

Québec has its own culture and language.

That's hideous

Québec is increasingly becoming like the west but the language difference helps keep it unique.
Maritimes are superior though

Probably because that guy has a chip on his shoulder about Canadians. Same reason why he called our accent retarded and forced.

nice
more of these qts

Perhaps you shouldn't visit reservations bud
Though I find it adorable that your state is 90% native names and 99% failed dreams of economic expansion

Enjoy Scott Walker

...

>nice

Thanks, it's my town, St. Andrews, NB

Ya southern alberta is quite hideous. Literally nothing but fields of wheat and cows

That's because we're built 100 percent on top of indian burial grounds. If we don't name every single thing after an indian we get ghosts.

>He's so far left he gets angry about a republican official in another state
Bizarre

He's done good, anyway. Unions getting smashed. Union workplaces can no longer require you to be a part of the union, which is utterly baffling that that was legal at any point in time.

Hobo with a Shotgun is a Canadian movie.

Most Canucks have a repressed violent side. They're edgy but don't act on it.

This is why we hockey, to let out pent up agression.

When are you going to let us annex Alberta BC and Saskatchewan

Canada is gay

USA is not gay

why are most hockey teams based in the US?

Only Treudeau is gay

amazing banter

Because there's a market for it?

>He's so far left
Proofs?

I have issues with his election, but he isn't my governor so I don't really mind

>ghosts
Hey ghosts are bro-tier
t. Knows Wyomingites

This is false.

Radios are mandated to play at least a certain amount of Canadian content.

This bitch is probably just ignorant of which artists are Canadian.

Higher population=more €€€

I haven't listened to a Canadian band or musician in probably 5 years, personally.

Because the ones that are based here earn more money

Larger cities and larger population creates more potential for franchises

>maple moose hockey
Every possible permutation of this intrigues me. I want to see it

We're larger in land populated probably.

And most hockey teams have Canadian players or the children of Canadians.

Canadians and Americans are fairly similar, but can someone explain the massive difference between the two cultures re gun violence? Canada has loads of guns but might as well have no gun violence compared to the US.

What issues? They tried to impeach him and failed spectacularly.

The only people who had an issue with it were the people in madison, a gaping shithole filled with hipsters and hippies. They couldn't fathom a state made up by people out in the boonies not voting for a loony.

Canadian blacks aren't retarded like American blacks

We have less violent minorities, we require a PAL to purchase guns which means you have to take a gun safety course, and we restrict or prohibit most assault rifles and handguns.

That's wrong. Look at pretty much any black neighbourhood in Toronto. It's a massive shithole.

His connections with the Kochs were fishy to me, though I will admit I didn't look much into it

Most people I know listen to at least some Canadian music. One guy plays aboriginal rap from our province at work. Drake gets played non-stop on the Radio along with a lot of other Canadian acts.

There's absolutely a lot of American media up here but to say that nobody listens to Canadian music here is either a statement made out of ignorance, or someone who is trying very hard to avoid Canadian stuff.
