it’s funny, someone said I was “based” for calling the United States a foreign country, but…..that’s just what it is to the rest of the world! like it’s not a radical or provocative word choice, that’s literally just how the majority of people on earth view it
………no, Canada is not culturally an extension of the state. speaking as a Canadian who has travelled both countries, Americans have so many idiosyncrasies and experiences in common, and it makes interacting with them really odd sometimes.
there are huge differences in religion, patriotism, views about the world, political systems, etiquette, schooling, GUNS, city construction, and so on, going into detail on any one of those would be an essay. I don’t know how to say this without sounding like an aggrieved Canadian, but we are most definitely a separate country.
