- rwj146ExplorerRick Mercers 'Talking to Americans' and 'Explaining Canada' are great. The Mercer Report is one of my favorite Youtube channels.

- almccExplorerActually, anyone who has worked in the food, alcohol or tobacco business can tell you that there are substantial differences in tastes between the countries, most products are re-formulated to suit the tastes of Canadians.
Ever wonder why there are no “Marlboro“ style cigarettes in Canada? Been tried many times, failed because Canadians smoke the kind of cigs produced in the UK 30 years ago. Just one example!
My wife has "zed" (not a "zee") in her first name, she gets a charge out of the reaction of US folks when she spells it out! - deewhite0612ExplorerBoy! You think there are cultural differences between the US and Canada? Ya wanna try moving from South Africa to Canada. Talk about Culture Shock!
- Lorne_LorraineExplorerSome regions of Canada are more like some regions of the US than some US regions are to each other. And vise versa. Hang, the rest of the world can hardly tell us apart! And Enroutes? I still call them Service Centers. Hard to keep up with the local lingo. Then again I still think in terms of Fahrenheit, miles, gallons and pounds. I remember coming across some locals in Louisiana speaking French. Saw a US president up close in Washington and the Queen when she was visiting Canada. Notwithstanding some normal sibling-like rivalry, I think one would be very hard pressed to find any rational Canadian who would would trade off our existing neighbor to the south for any other country in the world. We're North Americans and proud of it!
