How canadians differ from americans

For example, Canadian Idol failed after 3 seasons and The Amazing Race Canada and the Bachelor Canada are still running, but the winners of the shows have a few thousand measly followers on social media and then just fade into nonexistence after their season ends. Essentially, you can't quit your day job if you're on television in Canada. Heck, our girl Vanessa Grimaldi won the whole thing a few seasons back! We're tuned into US media, radio, literature, film, the whole nine yards. And that won't be changing any time soon.

I can't imagine giving birth and then being slapped with a bill at the end of it. In Canada, you can walk into any hospital, patiently wait for hours in the waiting room, then speak with a doctor about your ailments. Free healthcare is great, and wonderful for people of all income levels. However, the US healthcare system, while expensive, is competitive, experimental and offers some of the world's best specialists.

You get great care in the States, you get free care in Canada. Take your pick. The weirdest thing about travelling abroad is that not all countries obsess over breakfast the way people from Canada and the US do. If I could only eat waffles, french toast and fruit for the rest of my life, I'd be a happy lady. Alas, countries across the Atlantic do not share our obsession with brunch foods or bottomless mimosas.

Instead, you'll see a lot of sad continental breakfasts with nothing but stale muffins. Not an egg to be seen and no smell of bacon in the air. It's terribly sad. One thing America gets very very right and Canada gets very very wrong is domestic travel. In the States, if you want to travel from one end of the country to the next, you can manage to find a flight for cheap thanks to Southwest, JetBlue, Am. Airlines, Delta, United There are often deals from one major airport to the next for one or two hundred dollars roundtrip.

We have fewer airlines, essentially only Air Canada and WestJet, so prices are pretty fixed. We don't offer the same type of low-cost carriers or flash deals. It's a sad shame. Ask anyone from the States and they'll say they're living in the greatest country in the world, ask anyone from Canada and they'll talk your ear off about how great it is to live in Canada.

We're both extremely proud of our respective countries, and aren't afraid to toot our own horns about it. Objectively speaking, both countries are pretty great. We both have freedom, diversity, acceptance, forward-thinking, and adorable kids who love to wear stars and stripes or red maple leaves. In America, Spanish is pretty big, but it's not an official language.

Instead, there are many people who grow up learning and speaking only one language. In Canada, we have two official languages, French and English. All children are required to take classes in their secondary language at school that would be French as a second language for English speakers in most of the country and English as a second language for French speakers in Quebec.

If you forget that Canada is bilingual, just think of our lovely Celine Dion living in Caesars Palace in Vegas, and her classic French accent. That'll jog your memory.

Both Canada and America have absolutely astounding food that blends together flavours from all over the world. If you travel to Thailand, they have great Thai food. If you travel to France, expect incredible French cuisine. But in Canada and the States, we don't necessarily have a trademark we'll get to burgers and fast food later , but we're great at highlighting the different ethnicities in our cities and hosting some really delicious places to eat.

If I had to pick out my top five favourite restaurants from my city, one would serve sushi, the other Thai, another Asian, the next Pizza and the final one serves hot dogs and poutine. It's a diverse mix. Mommies have it great in Canada. We have governmental paid maternity leave for one year, and we have the option to take more at a lower percentage of our salary.

Most moms I know take at least the full year, if not more! For Canadians and Americans, concerns about religious and ethnic hatreds top their list of global worries. Such concerns differ from those in other parts of the world, where the spread of infectious diseases—such as AIDS—is judged the top global problem in more countries.

But Americans are more worried than Canadians and Europeans about nuclear weapons. And Canadians are more troubled by global environmental problems than are either Americans or Europeans. Events of the last few years have taken their toll on U.

The image of the U. But compared with the reaction among some other American allies, this decline in support was relatively modest. Significantly, Canadian opinion of the American people—as opposed to views of the United States—did not decline with the war.

In nine of 14 countries where Pew Global Attitudes trends exist for this question, public attitudes toward Americans worsened. On the other side of the border, the image of Canada fell in the U.

Furthermore, Canadians, like Europeans and people all around the world, continue to like American pop culture and admire U.

But Canadians share with many people around the world a frustration with U. But Americans have a very different perspective. Finally, the spread of American influence troubles Canadians, half of whom say it is a bad thing that American ideas and customs are spreading there. Canadians and Americans share a number of similar values. This sense of personal empowerment is not shared by Europeans, where pluralities agree that people have little control over their own destinies.

The North American neighbors part ways over individualism. And Canadians are much greener than Americans. Further, respondents in Canada say that protecting the environment should be given priority even if it results in a loss of jobs, something Americans favor much less.

Canadians are also more internationalist than Americans. For instance, even before the U. Moreover, Canadians and Western Europeans are more likely than Americans to say they like the availability of international products, the flow of popular culture across national borders, and faster international communication and greater trade. Finally, Canadian social and religious values are much closer to those held by Europeans than by Americans. Covid Safety.
