Canada vs The US? Ever Wonder if the US & Canada were really the same place? Well they are not, but they do have quite a few things in common. This video covers 10 ways that Canada and the US are actually very similar. From their love affair with pasta in a blue box (though they call it different things, KD Kraft Dinner or Kraft Mac & Cheese, to the practice of neither country actually telling you what the final price you will pay on a price tag, to the patriotic nature of their clothing choices. These are the 10 ways that Canada & The US are similar.

I can’t believe the Canadians still call it kraft dinner. Yeah, stupid kraft calls it that, but I mean, use common sense people. It’s macaroni noodles with cheese. That’s Macaroni and cheese and nothing else. At some point, you’d figure the Canadians would grab a brain and say, “hey, we’re really eating Mac and cheese here” but no. Canadians are too thick for that.

One thing you missed Mark, maybe cuz it is too obvious, is we both speak English, although with different accents ! With a strong presence of French in eastern Canada and Spanish in the southwest USA. The English comes from England's early exploration and colonization, but there are some oddities, such as some French place names in the north-western USA from French explorers from Quebec, and Spanish place names on Canada's West Coast from Spanish explorers from California. Also, both countries have lots of Indigenous Peoples place names, such as Sakatchewan province and Nebraska state.

Not really. Canada and the US are pretty much the same people and country, divided by a few political differences built over the years. The US came up with a very capitalist, free market, small government model, and Canada followed a European model. Take away politics, and it doesn't make any sense at all to have 2 countries

Hi Mark! Great vid as always, thanks for heads up what to expect. But I have to disagree on one thing :) Last year we've actually driven from NY to Miami to LA. Didn't spend entire two weeks in a car, actually small portion of it. It's just about how you organised your car trip (food to car, short bathroom breaks). Enjoyed whole country very much and I got the feeling we've squeezed as much as we could from the time we've had :) Then I guess it's very different when you're traveling with family, not just two people mid twenties :)

The reason Canadians place the flag on their backpacks when travelling abroad is less about patriotism and more about letting everyone know we are not American. In my experience travelling, I have been treated much better once it was known that I am Canadian. I have met savvy American travellers who have sewn the Canadian flag onto their backpacks for this reason.

Speaking of flying between cities in North America, I think one of the shocks that people outside North America would have is how expensive flights tickets are. In North America, we don't have the likes of Air Asia or Ryanair. And in Canada, it's even worse because we don't have JetBlue or Spirit Air (there's a discount airline that has just started running in the last few weeks so we will see how it goes). Once, we had a family friend who flew to Vancouver and said that she would try getting a cheap ticket to see us in Toronto. We told her that it wouldn't be possible but she wouldn't believe us. That meeting in Toronot didn't happen, obviously. I really hope that the price of plane tickets could go down so at the very least we can explore different parts of our own country.

At least with the US, it is just so cheap to drive everywhere. As long as you aren't climbing a steep hill or other nonsense, you can find car rentals for unlimited miles at $15-20 a day for an economy car. With gas at $2.50-3 a gallon, it is just cheap to drive everywhere though sometimes the distances can be a burden.

To be honest, coming from Hong Kong, I never like the idea of 15% tips being force upon on the customers in Canada. I would be more comfortable to be charge more on the menu from the get go than having to pay extra for some poor services. Yes, it sounds like I pay around the same amount at the end, but the feelings are totally different. The thing is, I tipped when I was in HK, if the service was brilliant I tip more, if it was terrible, well no hard feeling, you just don't get that extra money, and it won't left any bad taste in my mouth either, that's all. Force tipping just eliminates the actual idea of "tips" in my opinion.

Apophis STR you aren't forced. You could walk out, but you would be seen as an asshole. It's really up to you. They can't physically hold you until you pay a tip.

Quimby Beckett Even if they didn't force the tip, you would still feel & look like being an ass for not to as someone from above mentioned. Usually people wouldn't want to further complicating the matter and just pay the tips and leave, but that's exactly what this tip culture left us the bad taste in the mouth, the culture made it almost a requirement. The problem is you never know how the service would be if it's your first time.

During the Calgary Stampede (which starts this Friday, July 6th, 2018) would be a great time to visit Calgary if you want to see the city during 'the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth'. If you're still in BC, it's an easy trip to Calgary through the Rockies. I imagine Canada and the US are similar in that each province (or state) has its own unique identity, culture and demographic as defined by their geography and predominant industries. I was drawn to Alberta from Ontario more than 20 years ago because of it's young and dynamic population, healthy outdoor lifestyle and thriving entrepreneurial spirit. It still feels to me like a place you can build a successful life even it you start with knowing no one and having nothing.

Mark it’s a good list but from an American point of view. We tip less than 15%, Alberta will separate before Québec ever does, and bumper stickers and flags on clothing is still a kind of not-kosher thing here. I’m an American who immigrated to Canada about 15 years ago so, no hate. Happy Canada Day.
