Minor things that bother you

... even if it's just a blend of other cultures.

Like Canada.

Even Canadians admit that their culture is a blend of British and American culture.

Edit: besides Quebec

This is very much provincially dependent. Atlantic Canada? Sure, more British influence. Anything Ontario and west based on my travels? No more discernable influence than anything in the U.S.

Should we just re-draw the borders like this, then?

Culturally those regions do make sense.

If you're doing culturally, at a minimum, you're going to have to include the following in the yellow section:
The western and northern halves of Alaska
The northern third of Yukon
All of Northwest Territories
The northern third of Ontario
The northern half of Quebec
The northern half of Labrador

You could also add the western half of Cape Breton Island to the Blue, maybe even the northeast portion of Vermont.

And, see, I assumed not, because Nunavut broke away from the Northwest Territories.

I'd argue the difference between Nunavut and Northwest Territories is much less than the difference between Northwest Territories and Alberta.

Bold to assume that just because these regions speak the same language, they have the same culture...

The one showing Québec and Nunavut as independent nations.

As usual, the person drawing the map forgets about les Îles de la Madeleine. (They'd be in blue.)

[1995hoo]

There's something a lot more notable than those islands that's missing from the US part of the map.

Yeah, I was too lazy to remove all the territories while still leaving Hawaii.

I think he was using the map more as "cultural divides" than independent nations.

There is no cultural divide between the Midwest and Deep South? Between California and Newfoundland?

I mean they fly confederate flags in some rural Midwest areas...

I was joking about independent nations.  Just a joke, everyone.  Nobody is annexing Canada.

They do in Canada, too. The government of Minnesota displays a stolen confederate flag as a war trophy. What racist pieces of shit choose to do makes no difference to me.

I was taking it as "which parts of Canada are more like the US as opposed to other parts of their same country".

If it weren't for Québec, Canada would have no culture.

Close.  You're so close.

If it weren't for Québec, Canada would basically be the United States.

Assuming this isn't sarcasm I've read some pretty ridiculous things on here and this take the cake.

For everyone giving Kyle crap for his sarcastic takes... Legitimately, if you crossed I-15 from Sweetgrass to Montana and headed to Calgary, other than road signage and things relating to the metric system, what is that noticeably different between the two countries?

I think 85% of the Canada-related posts so far have been at least somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

It won't be evident unless you have to use it, but what about universal healthcare?

Healthcare isn't really part of culture. The US Healthcare system is not an integral part of the American identity.

I'm not sure if I throw that in the bucket of "cultural differences". I'd honestly argue gun rights would be a more apropos answer along those lines.
