Name -one- difference between Canada and America, other than the fact in Canada, our medicare is free and our government/military is formed differently.

If you can name a significant difference I'll be quiet. Canada, other than temperature, is virtually NO different from the United States. We watch the same things, do the same things, talk the same, go through the same fads, rely on the same fashion and entertainment, play the same games....other than the setup of our governments (President vs Prime Minister) and our healthcare, nothing is different at all.

That I will stand by. Prove me wrong.

Yes, on the surface there is no differences, but as a group of people, there are quite a few differences, but it involved politics, people's attidudes, how propaganda is fed, etc so I don't think I want to get into that dicussion since it may not be the same ideeology as others and lead into heated discussions...

We both have a few main cities with fairly high populations, and quite a large area that is sparsly populated. Lots of areas pretty untouched by "civilization", good fishing, decent hunting.

As far as a whole with the US being compared to Canada I'd say it's the navy that's the biggest difference.

You guys get ninja's.

It's called stereotyping, and being biased and being ignorant in the ways of the world...tis a human condition, difficult to be rid of, difficult to stop...

Meh, do what you can

For "record setting things" read "insanities other jurisdictions could well do without".
