I'm willing to trade California for Alberta

I'm pretty sure they arent all the same too, but many Canadians I've met online seem to really have it out for us Americans because of Trump.

Edit: They've even joked about building a wall around Canada's borders to keep Americans out just to spite us for Trump's wall being built around the border of Mexico.

the ones i deal with feel sympathy for us amuuuricans. esp. the new zealanders who went through a similar fascist phase back in the 80s.

Canadians are patient when people are lost; they don't honk the horn if they know you're searching for an address, and going slow.

Americans? forget about it! They'll go right past you, and maybe give you the finger or something....

they just seem calmer, cooler, more sensible than most amuuricans i've met. not hung up over silly things like we are. more mature.

American drivers are pretty rude, even in the south where people are more mannerly about anything else.

At least Georgia drivers aren't as bad as Florida drivers.

lotta slow-pokin' passive/aggressives here who fly off the handle if you pass them up. in canada, they drove pretty fast, average highway speed i saw there was about 140 kilometers/hr.

Florida is like one giant tourist trap, so of course drivers here are going to be very rude and in a hurry to run someone over to get to the beach or go to someplace like Disney World or Panama City. Many of them often drive drunk too, especially during Spring Break.

Orange means the New Democratic Party (social democratic), turquoise is the Quebecois Bloc (a regional party in Quebec).

Nothing compared to Austin and Dallas. San Antonio drivers are the most chill, Houston is meh.

Nationwide, Minneapolis-St. Paul has the nicest drivers.

Thanks. That explains why Quebec is that color on the map.

Isn't it against the rules to call somebody a troll here?

I have found québécois polite and helpful. And they don't even want to see a drivers license to check into a motel. I also know some wonderful torontonians. I'd love to live in Canada except that it is too cold.

“Oh Canada, OUR home and native land” is not going to be easy for change averse autistics.

Something of a side-topic here.

I went through western Alberta and BC in August, it's absolutely beautiful. Similarly on Banff and Jasper, if anyone ever jacked either of those to places up I think I'd just about make it my life mission to deal with them or the agencies responsible. That's not to say that I think we in the US would mess those two places up, AFAICT we're doing fine with places like Glacier and Yellowstone, just that when I say natural wonders or places that should be preserved as more important than any given generation there's a reason for that.






If I remember correctly there was some sort of deal going on in the 19th century where the US wanted to pick up BC, particularly with Alaska already in the north, both they and the Canadian government were trying their own equivalents of influence to get BC on their side, and the Canadian government ultimately won that contest.
