An American Historian PSH! Well for one, Ohio you can be easilly drafted to go fight in whatever McWar the yanks dreamed up that month. Im no expert on Ontario, perhaps a person of black ethnicity would have a somewhat different family history, and on our quarter you'll still find the dear ol Queens head...Rural life by its nature is somewhat the same, but some important differences..like small town Canada watch Corner Gas. Go peddle your yankee tripe south of the border!

I think our beaver friend might actually be mocking us. Then again, maybe I'm over-thinking it....

If the Americans have a war and Harper is Prime Minister Canadians get sent to it, so no difference there. Not sure how a Black person's history would differ, could you expand on that?

If there's no difference I may as well stay here.

Melting pot vs. multicultural is just fluff. In practice, NYC and Toronto both have diverse populations and ethnic neighbourhoods.

Crime varies with population density, Rexdale vs. Vermont favours the US by a wide margin.

Two languages are widely used in the US, only one in most of Canada.

Sweet ride, I love Caddies

So you wished to point out the similarities buy pointing out the differences?

I have enough schooling to see that your manners far exceed your intelligence.
