    Truthfully... they're very similar.

    As much as I poke fun at America, I've encountered some of the nicest people one could hope to encounter anywhere on an individual basis. I've loved my experiences in California, Nevada, Hawaii, Massachusetts, and- most frequently- Washington.

    It's the collective whole where you can distinguish differences. Canada tends to be empathetic with the less fortunate and support mechanisms to assist people in need- regardless of circumstance. Likewise, Canada supports social programs like medical; whereas, many Americans tend to be a little less tolerant and a little less inclined to support social programs (I think socialism is a dirty word for many).
    blame the "red scare" in the 50's for that.

    Yep, but it’s been seventy years. You guys should really get over it.   Wait.  In light of current political events, never mind  :o;)=)
