Anglos are all the same.

Agreed. We need to have each-other's backs.

please get rid of your prime minister, canada

I want to. I want that desperately.

...

>Our cultural differences might be vast
you're basically the same country

It's amazing how he just immediately became a worthless pile of shit. Gave up proportional representation with any kind of a fight at all, legal weed is taking forever (and it will be far more restrictive than US states with legal weed.)

>vast cultural differences
Most of them live a short distance from the boarder. They come down in the morning, shop during the day, and leave in the evenings. They live among us.

You're both the same country to us.
Canada is just socialist USA.

Their politics would be considered treasonous in the United States

And 1/3 of our country doesn't speak French.

>Euro education

>Gun legislation in Canada is largely about licensing and registration. Handgun registration became law in 1934, and automatic firearms registration was added in 1951. In 1969, laws classified firearms as "non-restricted", "restricted" and "prohibited". Starting in 1979, individuals who wished to acquire firearms were required to obtain a firearms acquisition certificate ('FAC') from their local police agency. From 1995-2012, all firearms owners were required to possess a firearms licence (either a 'PAL', 'POL', 'FAC', or a 'minors licence') and all firearms were required to be registered.

Fuck Amerisharts, Europeans are our bros. They're gonna help us take down Boeing

>Europeans are our bros

Canadians are actually easily noticeable in the United States, especially in places like Texas or Georgia.

Yes, our gun laws are much more sensible than yours, but you are no longer required to register long guns.

Best of frrens

I don't buy it. How are you going to be able to tell the difference between someone from Grand Forks and someone from Winnipeg? Unless they mention something about tim hortons.

He was always worthless. People just didn't realize until he got into office.
>tfw our largest water bomber was in an airshow during fires
>tfw he refused Russian offer to send their water bombers over

Only true of Vancouver and southern Ontario. I got pretty extreme culture shock the one time I went to Montana.

t. Alberta

Yeah the US has more in common with places like Germany and Spain than Canada desu

Different history, laws, ideas about human rights, philosophy, civic structure, politics, demographics, view of our selves and our role in the world, often different language, religion, architecture, accent, climate, foods, Americans are deeply individualistic while Canadians have tall poppy syndrome, etc.
We are no more like Americans than you are like the French or Dutch.

Get rid of your president and we have a deal.

You know that means Pence becomes our president, right?

Stop sucking Canadian cock you traitorous son of a bitch. DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MAN FOR HE IS NOT A SANE MAN, HE CONVINCES HIMSELF CANADA AND USA ARE IDENTICAL. HE TELLS HIMSELF THIS EVERY NIGHT IN ORDER TO FALL ASLEEP AT NIGHT BECAUSE HE'S A NATIVE BORN CANADIAN TRYING TO STEAL JOBS FROM AMERICAN STALLIONS. WHAT HE NEEDS IS NOT A REPLY, BUT A VISIT TO THE PSYCHIATRIST

You know that might mean the Liberals and NDP form a coalition under the leadership of prime minister Jagmeet Singh Diwali right?

Canada to the US is like Denmark to Germany. Basically the same country with minor differences.

I'm not the one who suggested you remove PM.

We should though, Trudeau isn't a great PM.

I like you Canada. Be my fren

>minor
What we have are minor similarities over things like entertainment and sometimes accents.

but hes a great prime minister

>minor
That sweet Canadian denial

Like the rest of the world it's regional. A Mainer and a New Brunswicker may have a great deal in common but will be quite different from a Californian. There is a tendency out west for everything to blend together. I can't often tell an American from west of the Mississippi and a Canadian from west of Québec apart. They are different for the aforementioned reasons, but they usually sound and live the same as one another.

This is not a bad thing, my nigga. He just needs to ditch the turban.

>was banned from India for high profile support of terrorism
>when asked about support for radical sikh terrorist (that killed over 2 dozen Canadians) he simply said the media was racist for even daring to ask
>claims Québec has a right to self-determination on a possible independence referendum
>is yet another politician put into power by style rather than substance, known more fir colourful turbans, fibe suits, and frequeny use of Americanisms "dude" and "bro" during serious political discussions.
>is leader of the NDP, a party even farther to the left than the Liberals
>wants to ban all hunting in Canada

He's shite

he looks like bob marley

Literally all of those Denmark and Germany has as well but you're just hugely exaggerating pretty much everything.

I don't believe you. I've been to Alberta and it was basically Montana with less gun stores.

Exaggerating what? Give an example of something I've exaggerated

>Our cultural differences might be vast

>Give an example
Religion, wow that was easy

The US is predominantly evangelical protestant with a huge percentage being some degree of biblical literalist, and no high-tier federal political canidate has ever gained office without professing religious belief. They also constitutionally separate church and state

Canada is predominantly Catholic, has a high percentage of entirely irreligious people, does not mix religion and politics, but does have an official state church.

>literally different factions of the same religion

wew

vocaroo.com/i/s1sYGxtpHOdI

trudeau is doing much much better than tr*mp though, cuck

It's an entirely different religious culture and relationship to religion in general. Sometimes literally the oppisite. A country that forbids state religion but has "in god we trust" on every banque note and coin vs a country that has a state religion but puts scientists on its banque notes.


You're close but there are exceptions for things like ethnic or special interest radio. In these cases 93% can be from Madagascar and the additional content can be non-Canadian and it's only between the hours of 6:00am and 6:00pm Mon-Fri.
So a Madagascar radio station would only need 4.2 hours of Canadian content out of 168 hours in a week. That content could include anything, an interview with a Canadian musician that has heard of Madagascar for example.
It's also not "illegal" as there are no civil or criminal penalties for radio stations but it could jeopardize a station's ability to renew their broadcast licsence.

>That content could include anything, an interview with a Canadian musician that has heard of Madagascar for example.

lol

>It's also not "illegal" as there are no civil or criminal penalties for radio stations but it could jeopardize a station's ability to renew their broadcast licsence.
Yes, and if they broadcast without a license lets not pretend that shit isn't going to go down.

You can't broadcast commercially in America either without a license either. Personal broadcasters, like ham radio operators obviously have no requirements.
Overall it's just a pragmatic law (with tons of room for interpretation). Pretending we don't live next to a country with 10 times the population and the world's largest entertainment industry woukd be silly. In order to keep English language Canadian stations from only playing American music, and to give Canadian musicians a chance, these regulations are necessary. Gordon Cleghorn and the Fiddlers 3 from Dildo, Newfoundland can't really compete with Justin Timberlake without it.
They don't change much anyway, over the last 6 years the top selling artists in Canada have been Eminem (twice), Adele (twice), and Taylor Swift.

>Our cultural differences might be vast

???

Canada does not and has not ever had a state church, that is absolutely false. Other than that yeah, Canadian Christians tend to be boring regular Catholics and old-school Protestants whereas the USA has a creater portion of evangelical nutbags.

>Overall it's just a pragmatic law
Yeah, whatever you say.

Québec is a funny example, they have a high percentage that claim to be Catholic and a crucifix in their legislature, but have only ever elected 1 clergyman as an MP and he was famous for speaking out against the church and their policies.

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Gravel

>Gravel is controversial among the Catholic clergy and laity for his support of abortion rights, euthanasia and same-sex marriage

>Gravel was ordered by the Vatican to either give up the priesthood or leave politics, and he finally announced he would not run in the 2008 election

Wew

Anyways, Catholic clergy generally aren't supposed to run for office, they need special permission to.

Also before Quebec became left-wing secular shits in the 60s they were very good Catholics. Quebec was practically a Catholic theocracy with the Church in control of healthcare, education, welfare, universities, and Quebec nationalism itself to a great extent.

Response to

It was the same in French NB and all the riots and strife we did have was fueled by Catholics. They had a point though, probably not fair to have thousands of French Catholics and only Irish bishops who refuse to give mass in anything but English.

In what ways are Alberta and Montana different? I'd have thought they'd be two of the more similar states/provinces desu

>probably not fair to have thousands of French Catholics and only Irish bishops who refuse to give mass in anything but English.

>2017
>not going to mass in latin where possible

They are a lot alike, especially on the surface. One good example though is the death penalty. Montana has it, Canada does not. It seems like a small and irrelevant thing but it says a lot. In the US states decide these types of things and America has gone to war over these state's rights, it's all federal in Canada, it suggests that they have deeply ingrained differences regarding law, order, and human rights. There are lots if things like this that seem minor but actually reveal big differences between Canadians and Americans.
They are hard to explain and not noticeable except to people that have spent years in both countries, but basically Canadians and Americans just think differently about themselves and the world around them.

Not to meme, but modern America has more in common with Mexico than with Canada.

A person from Houston will feel more at home in Monterrey than in Montreal

pengdeau is based

That's fine but the US isn't Anglo. We're a Germanic-Italian-Irish country

Nothing says based like vilifying farmers, fisherman, and small business owners.

this. I can't even go to maine without people instantly noticing I'm a foreigner
>t. easterner

I love Canada.

Whereabouts in the east though? A lot of Atlantic Canadians have very noticeable accents that even a Mainiac would pick up on.

North American Union when

never

Ontario sure as fuck isn't eastern Canada region, please carve it up among the surrounding American and Prarie regions. Québec, Newfoundland, and the Maritimes couldn't have less to do with those """"people"""".

Michigan here
you guys really do say ay and use km more often that us, thats an easy way to tell

canadian license plates usually either drive 3mph too fast or too slow too
and they usually have caanadian bills, not just change (half of my pocket change on any day of the week is canadian, because stores use both countries coins the same here)

other than that their accent is just slightly different, but cant quite put my finger on how

Canadians are retarded

They have a French feminist as their leader and he loves to suck Muslim cock

Idiots

No, fuck a North American union. Cascadia is the correct answer. People who don't live in NW North America should kill themselves.

What the fuck is this

Cascadia, the best country in the world.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_flag
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_Republic_of_Jamtland
Nice looking flag you got there.

There's only so many tricolor combinations to go around. At least Cascadia has a Doug Fir, and some fag lion with an axe.

>differences may be vast
only because the US itself has its own distinct subcultures thanks to its massive size
I unironically find more in common with Canucks thans Texans or Deep south types, the only difference ive seen is in usage of celsius and kilometers
t.Upstate New Yorker

I honestly didn't mean it as a negative, allthough I see now that it might look like it. But I don't really get how a tree is a better symbol of the people it is supposed to represent than our 700+ year old sigil.

We've only got 150 years of history. The Doug Fir is actually pretty emblematic of this area. They are cool trees.

shut up, bum

I want to be a Canadafriend.

>Our cultural differences might be vast
"vast". We are probably the most culturally similar countries in the world.
Take away the border and you'll find that their are no cultural differences(outside of Quebec of course). USA and Canada are on one cultural continuum.

We are not predominately evangelical protestant. They only make up around 35% in the parts of the country where they are most numerous.
The percentage of Baptists in the state of South Carolina is too high, but only because nobody listened to my proposal to round them up into camps and send them to Utah(along with the negros obviously). Than us non-Baptists have more land (negros dont have any land to give us, it'll just be a bad day for people that rent out houses)

sorry mate your cool and all but im waiting for our right wing isolationist movements to take affect

Alberta is full USA with french signs

Fucking Albertans are filth, and one glorious day we will take back the rockies burn their towns
