Maybe we can because there's not as much difference as you'd like to think. The typical Canadian town looks just like the typical American town. And all an American needs to do to blend in with Canadians is wear flannel shirts, suspenders, one of those silly winter hats, and carry a lumber jack ax around.
We're quite similar in looks, I agree. But if you take other things into account there are many big differences. We "peace keep" in a very different style, very very different style. We're a lot more left wing. Our culture integration is a Mosaic rather then the Melting Pot. A bunch of other things too. But I gotta admit we got a lot of similarities.

The Canadian boast of peace keeping is sorely unfounded. Of the miniscule amount of soldiers that Canada actualy does have employed, the majority of them are actually not on peace keeping missions.
And don't try to say that a Mosaic is better than a Melting Pot when they're both abstract concepts anyway. A mosaic implies that instead of different kinds of people being integrated, they are all paired into groups and bordered next to other groups, which really implies segregation. Not saying that Canada is segregated, but nor should you imply that Canada is more accepting of other cultures than the U.S. is.
I'm not saying any of the methods are better. I just said they were different.
As for peace keeping, besides the Middle Eastern affairs, which are an embarrasement on our government's part, we do peacekeep. Once again, I just said they were different, no need to get uptight.

And there's no need to accuse me of being uptight. I've just heard from one to many Canadians about their "peacekeeping efforts" and it makes me laugh.
I just hate it when Americans make fun of Canada after never going there.
im still gonig to do it. so get used to it. =D

We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive. Tupac Shakur

Americans making fun of Canadians is an American pasttime. But it's also an act of defensive minimalism that we do it, knowing that many Canadians have an irrational hate for the United States.
No, we don't. We just pretend to. I admit that we have a lot of similarities. If I were to live anywhere else it would be to the U.S. I'll admit we have a strong hate for Bush, but that's is more rational.
Canada and the U.S. relation to me is kind of like best friends, you joke around a lot about the crappiness of eachother, but you don't always mean it.
My point is, is Americans are competitive and are willing to compete even in dispositions. So as much as Canada bashes us (whether they mean it or not) we do so back in stride.
Well no one wants to just take the critisism, they need to critisize back. I'm not sure who started it, but it's going to keep happening. Canadians are also very competitive.
See, and what you're doing now is a prime example of how I generalized the Canadian people. Only difference is, I'll admit I started this thing with my first comment about America Junior.
You now have the power in you to not even dignify my responses about Canada; ignore my comments, extinguish the competition. Or are you not manly enough to do so?
But you can't say that it was the Canadians who started it. I believe the Americans started it with the breaking off and exiling those who believed in England.
That doesn't count. You still gave yourself the last comment. As every America Junior citizen must. To truly let it go, you can't respond to any of this at all.
Why do Australians call British people "Pohms". Shouldn't the Australians technically be called Pohms (Prisoners of his/her majesty) because the first white Australians were actually the prisoners?
*runs and ducks for cover*
It's actually Pome (pronouned - Pommie) which stands for Prisoner of Mother England. And the reasons that we call them "Pome Bastards" is because they are still imprisoned by Mother England whereas we have been freed from her grasp.
There are different versions like the Pohm one but I think the above one is correct. I think....
Those cute little devil things that spin around real fast?
Ok, if you were being serious, you are thinking of "Tazzy Devil" from Looney Toons. But real tasmanian devils are about the size of a possum with a jaw as strong as a hyenas.
I was talking about people who live in Tasmania. Basically if you call someone a Tasmanian in Australia you are implying that they are inbred.
Of course, if you weren't being serious then a LOL to you kind sir.
I'm not sure if anybody answered this but yes, we do have things that shoot water up our butts or as you say "arse".
Cheers Maverick. And EWWWWW! You dirty bastard!
Doesn't it snow there? What do you do when you get freezing cold water shot up your rectum??
