This may be ranty, so sorry in advance. Canadians and Americans are very different. They are our brothers and we love them.That being said politically, socially and culturally we are very far apart. I would not be offended if someone thought I was American but I would correct them. I belive the equivalent would be if someone said "Oh your a Scott?" neighbour's for over a 1000 years but not the same. I'm assuming your British sorry. Also, to add we do have a growing presence of "We should be part if America" weirdos. Who would say something like "Canada has no culture".
This may be ranty, so sorry in advance. But Scots are British. They're not English but they are British. Haha. :p
I respectfully disagree...
About the only thing that seems un-American is that fox Justin Trudeau and it seems you're planning to vote him out next election. How, why? Have you seen that face? He isn't a man! He's a god!
So Canadian == American.
The only thing you got wrong here is in tickling a beaver .... riding a moose into battle is less dangerous than tickling a beaver who can snap at you like a weasel and rip your finger off in the blink of an eye.
The UK had no beavers for hundreds of years, so it makes sense that its denizens wouldn't know that beavers aren't ticklish. π«
