Texas is one of the hottest states, Alberta is one of the coldest provinces. Texas is socially conservative, Alberta isn't (this is debatable). They are both right ring - both are fiscally conservative. Texas has a lot of Latinos, Alberta has a lot of Asians. Both rely on oil. Both are economic powerhouses and are wealthy. The Texan economy has been booming, the Alberta economy has been retracting. Texans like football, Albertans like hockey. Texas is flat, but touches an ocean. Alberta has mountains, but is landlocked. They are roughly the same size (Texas a bit larger). Texas gets hurricanes, Alberta gets hail. Texas loses relatively small amounts in federal taxes to the poorer states. Alberta loses tens of billions in transfer payments to Quebec and the Maritimes. Anything else?

I lived in Indiana for the first 22 years of my life. I’ve lived in Illinois for the last 4 years of my life. Outside of Chicago, there is very little to do in Illinois. Also, it’s more expensive to live here, even outside of Chicago. I live 4.5 hours from Chicago, but my house was still $30,000 more than my brother’s house of a similar age, size, and condition. Additionally, I pay over 3X more in property tax than my parents in Indiana. Groceries tend to be higher here. Gas is more expensive. I made less money in Indiana, but was more comfortable there. My wife and I want to move south, so I’ll probably never move back to Indiana, but I can’t wait until I leave Illinois.

So I've lived in indiana for practically all my life. My family moved there when we were 6 and I had lived there up until 3 months ago, for a grand total of 18 years of being a Hoosier. Illinois definitely has that Chicagoland vs the rest divide, but i can attest that the northern part of the state is different than the southern part. I grew up in Northern Indiana, and i can say there is definitely a great influence from Illinois and Michigan where i grew up. Then I went to college in East Central Indiana starting in 2013, and I just gotta say it was a bit of a culture shock. I went from growing up in a city where people spoke in a fairly typical Midwestern dialect, to moving 2.5 hours south and all the sudden people are speaking with southern accents everywhere. There have been numerous times where i just simply couldn't understand what people were saying. There is a bit of a north/south divide in indiana, with the north generally being a bit more urban and generally being better off than the southern portion of the state (at least from my experience). The biggest cultural difference is Northern Indiana residents seem to look up to Michigan and over to illinois and Ohio, whereas southern Indiana residents seem to look down more towards Kentucky and even Tennessee.

For me, the best parts of Indiana aren't mentioned here: the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Indiana University Basketball, and the beauty of Southern Indiana, specifically Brown County and the surrounding area. But I'm a homer, so there's that.

[@harshgarrett]

It is very beautiful in the south of Indiana, but you have a lottttt of racists who live in that region who made my ex who was black feel very unsafe by giving her death stares for being with me a white man. Of course not everyone is like this but even near Brown County some white men tried to Lynch a black man not that long ago in the woods.

They both suck at traffic IMO. I travel through both about once every year (I-57, I-70, and I-69 in particular), and they both constantly have construction signs everywhere. The only difference is that you know where it will be in Indiana as opposed to Illinois where it can be anywhere on the highway.
