Right now, does Canada have more common ground with USA or United Kingdom?

Question

I know historically it's a fun hybrid

with UK - Metric system, Parliamentary government, more than 2 choices of political parties, Lacrosse, universal health coverage, curling? both spell color as (colour)

with USA - Cars drive on the right side of the road, share the same continent, similarly valued currency, similarly priced gasoline, similar in area, similar restaurants, both delcared independence

But then Iraq War - Britain joined it also, but it's really the fault of Bush and SOME American voters.

So now where are Canada's standings on US and UK?

Answer 1

Canada likes to think its part of Europe. but their accent is more similar with the American Accent than the British one, they do like 80% of its trade with the USA. They are tied closer to Britain Politically since they are in the Commonwealth but economically closer to the USA. its hard to say what they are closer to

Answer 2

Canada is an independent nation, organised by the constitution, with diplomatic relations with the UK and the USA. Canada has its own values which may be different from other countries.

Canada has a free trade agreement with the US that, according to Canadians, is not always honored by the USA.

Answer 3

Similarly valued currency? When can you even compare the c**p US dollar which is worth no more than the materials it is made with to a currency that actually seems to have value?

One easy comparison you haven't mentioned that can kick the US out of the comparison.

US=using imperial measurements and still practicing imperialism

Canada=Only imperial measurement used is the pound for measuring weight.

Answer 4

1)  There is NO Queen's Castle in Victoria, there is the Parliament Buildings, Empress Hotel, etc.. There is a "castle" but it has nothing to do with royalty at all.  

2) Lacrosse isn't a game shared with the UK at all, Lacrosse is actually a sport that was first played by the First Nations in Ontario.  Maybe what you are meaning is Soccer/UK Football.

3) Gas prices definitely aren't the same in Canada as the US.  Right now gas is around $1.49 per litre which when translated into gallons is around $6!  US definitely isn't paying that much.  Canada is the 2nd largest country in the world, way bigger than the US

Canada has similarities with both countries but everything else is their own.  The accent, the knowledge, beliefs, education, and so on.  Canada is its own country, nothing more nothing less.

Answer 5

about half way between I sometimes think they are trying three democratic systems with slight variation to see which works best!

Answer 6
