It always amazes me how little Americans know about Canada.
One visitor from the US told me Toronto is the capital of Canada and after that he asked me who is the president in Canada. :S
I will admit I know very little about Canada.
I hope to one day visit your great country. I will it is on my list of things to do the first year we hit the road full time. I have been to 43 US states and 13 countries. To me Canada is to far North, I am not a big fan of cold weather, I don't know how you all do it. The northern US states are to cold for me. So I guess it will be a summer trip.
I don't know who to Canadian PM is, but really I don't care. I don;t live there and don;t vote there, so your politics are really not something I worry about. I know that Ottawa is the Capitol but I doubt I could find it on a map. I believe it is in Ontario, but not 100% on that. I would imagine if I were to honestly poll every American on this forum that less then 60% would be able to fill in a US map correctly. I say 60% because of the number of full time travelers here. In my experience less then 40% of the people I have given a map "test" to will complete it correctly. Add the capitols of the states forget it only a few can do it.
There are culture differences in the US for North to South, East to West, it is what make life interesting.
With all the countries I have been to, I have discovered one thing, The vast majority of folks just want to be left alone to raise their families, support themselves, and enjoy life. It is a very small part of the world population that are just jerks.
I for one enjoy learning about other cultures.
