Americans are obsessed with crime movies and have the 68th highest crime rate per capita in the world. Canadians love American crime shows and have the 87th highest crime rate in the world. Both countries have lots of guns, though Canadians prefer shooting at targets, while Americans prefer shooting at each other.
Canadians have and love their national health care system. In fact, they use it regularly and freely. American right wing politicians tell their constituents that Canadians hate their system so that the American Medical Megalodemon (aka American Medical Association, pharmaceutical industry and insurance companies) can continue raping their citizenry to buy more yachts and multi-million dollar houses.
Canada has a land area of 3,855,103 square miles. America has a land mass of 3,794,083 square miles - that means Canada is 1.6% larger than the USA. As of 2010, there were 307,212,123 Americans and 33,487,208 Canadians. What does Canada do with all the extra land? Nobody is exactly sure since no one has ever been to those parts of Canada.
Life expectancy: Canadians average 81.2 years and Americans 78.1, AND the American life expectancy is dropping while the Canadian is rising - could free health care and less crime be a part of this? Of course not.
Canadians wear toques, Americans love hats and think the fact that Canadians all wear toques is funny and rather rustic. Americans learned about toques from the great Canadian comedians Bob and Doug McKenzie in the 1980s, the same place Americans learned everything they ever need to know about Canadian culture.
Comedy: Per Capita, Canadians basically smoke Americans when it comes to comedy - Chris Farley, Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, Phil Hartman, Dan Aykroyd, Tom Green, Norm MacDonald, Ryan Reynolds, John Candy, Michael Cera, Michael J. Fox, Seth Rogen, Martin Short.
The 2007 World Drug Report by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime says that 16.8 per cent of Canadians aged 15 to 64 smoked marijuana or used another cannabis product in 2006. The world average is 3.8 per cent.
