Are Canadians culturally closer to Brits or to Americans?

Americans

>>212426489 (OP)
They're just Americans, except for Quebec and the Maritimes.

>>212426489 (OP)
Americans. People who live in BC are similar to those who live in Washington. Those who live in the Maritimes are close to those who live in Maine. It's common sense.

>>212426489 (OP)
Stop making me horny, NIGGER !!! They kill people online on TA !!!

Americans and it is not even close.

>>212426489 (OP)
all of good leaf artist end up moving to murica after making some name. they're def murican

>>212426489 (OP)
Surely they're closer to Americans.
>pick up trucks
>mass produced shitty coffee
>ice hockey, gridiron football, basketball, baseball
>very similar accents
>styles of music are practically the same (drake and bieber may as well be american)

>>212426512
Why the maritimes? is it because of the acadians?

Americans with a lot of old world sensibilities. A lot less California and New York than we seem to want to portray ourselves on TV, and a lot less Irish redneck than the way Americans seem to want to portray us on TV.

did you know that the Black Country Living Museum, Dudley, West Midlands is located in Canada?

>>212426618
That's usually more of a financial decision.
Travel's cheaper. Work visas go away if you get citizenship (and they are a serious pain in the ass for Canadians unless you have "Extraordinary ability in the arts, athletics, or the motion picture/television industry" worthy of an O2 visa). Depending on the state of residence and states most often performed in, taxes can be as much as 50% lower. It's nearly impossible to even make a living as an artist in Canada alone - most stops on a tour would be at least 8h apart if you're not making a one-way trip coast to coast, basically mean you're burning everyone out, sleeping in shifts while driving, or while the bus is in motion if you can afford to rent a tour bus. Plus in certain seasons you have to contend with snow, floods, or moose on the ONE FUCKING ROAD.

We break in the US, Europe, or Japan. Almost never here. We have to import ourselves back home.

>>212426648
Acadiens and Oirish. The accent in some places (St. John's, some smaller cities in Nova Scotia) isn't even watered down - it's just Irish.

>>212426489 (OP)
UK since they are also close to India

>>212429372
AHAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!
I'm watching Russell Peters play a Mexican on TV right now.

>>212428963
This. Canada is like a more tame, and balanced America.

>>212429445
Until shit goes wrong, then it's all late night beatings, bodies in septic tanks, or completely ignoring international humanitarian law to get the smallest W.

>>212426489 (OP)
More American by far. We drink coffee and not tea, are car-centric, sound closer to Americans than the British, have a stronger sense of individual freedoms than most Europeans, and share a great deal of media.

>>212429488
Our redneck accents (the stereotypical mockery of how Canadians sound) are definitely more Bri'ish. Some of the accents and dialect between Sudbury and Winnipeg is straight outta Bristol.

>>212426512
>except for Quebec
Stop this. They're Americans that speak trailer park French, that's it.

>>212426489 (OP)
The average Canadian hick from Alberta or Saskatchewan is indistinguishable from a conservative American.

>>212429627
>The same intersection in Trois Rivieres
At least toss in some shots autoroute 20 or something. Almost every city in Quebec has something that could pass for suburban Wisconsin or a frosty day in New Orleans.

>>212429740
Alberta is trying too hard to be American. It's getting to the point where North Dakota's a little put off by it.

>>212429854
I'm not saving more than one picture of some shitty Canadian province, especially since it all looks the same.

>>212428963
Unless if by "old world" you mean India I'm not sure to what sensibilities you're referring to

>>212429479
When have this ever happenned?

>>212430475
Yep. You got us. The entire country is that one Walmart and McDonald's at an intersection with sideways lights. There definitely isn't a Tim Horton's out of frame to the left. Just Walmart on the right, and McDonald's on the left for 6700km along one small highway.

>>212430511
There's more to the country than Tim Horton's and Brampton. Both of which should be avoided at all costs, and their inhabitants left to overdose or starve to death.

Tell me, is this upstate New York? Florida? New Orleans? Tennessee?
Trick question. It's all of the above. This is what Trump is fighting for. This is what Trump will die for... A rusted out, bondo'd up Chevy Caprice.

>>212430627
>hey bro did you know we have SUBURBS and COLLEGE TOWNS?
>we also have OLD CITIES from when the country was founded
Anywhere in Canada has an American equivalent, there's no reason for me to save more than one picture to exemplify that.

>>212430725
bodied that frog

>>212430725
Literally posted from what used to be the back seat of a rusted out Caprice.

>>212430736
mirin that Caprice.

>>212430699
I actually thought that was rural Ontario

>>212429285
St. John’s has the weakest accent, you need to go to some obscure fishing outport with a population of 400 where they barely speak identifiable English at all
>>212426489 (OP)
American, but broadly speaking Canadian attitudes are still different (not better or worse), and our public institutions are definitely more British.

>>212430845
In only 73h of walking, you too could hop the border, and pile into that Caprice.

>>212430885
I'm not trying to scare the lads. There's plenty of places in Ireland that speak half-coherent English.

Is this the best you've got? Post your vibrant, unique culture instead.

>>212431025
>Is this the best you've got?
It's all you have. One burned out old Chevy in a dead parking lot. At least it's got a pleasant name.

>>212431340
You have nothing that isn't funded by Alberta.

>>212431393
If they weren't trying so hard to emulate your burned out Caprice, they might be able to cap the pipelines.

>>212426489 (OP)
Trudeau was 100% closer to Labour than the Democrats, and he was the one at power for years. Pierre, no idea which it is closer to.

>>212431575
Past.

>>212430915
It’s not just Irish either, half of Newfoundland is of English descent too, historically it had its share of British/Irish social tensions, but yeah

>>212431428
Where's that unique "French" culture you refuse to post?

I have a knife.

The pinnacle of Quebecois culture. Nothing from St. Zotique to St. André will ever be as violently Quebecois as Martyr was.

>>212426489 (OP)
They're very similar to albanians I hear

>>212426489 (OP)
it’s hilarious how foreigners think there’s some big huge difference between americans and canadians. i guarantee if i went to your shithole and said i was canadian you wouldn’t be able to tell i was lying to you

Wow, it's just like home

>>212432578
I can totally see it.

>>212432631
What do you even mean by that?

>>212432662
Your country is a burned out Caprice, much like the cars of Trois Rivieres, somehow never out of sight of a McDonald's and a Walmart.

>>212432689
And yours is different because...?

>>212432706
It's not a burned out Chevrolet Caprice celebrating that two of its tires are on fire?

>>212432730
In what way? Quantify it.

>>212432741
Your nation is literally one (1) Chevrolet Caprice that has not seen shade since the year of our lord nineteen-eighty-one (1981). You have four (4) vulcanized rubber radial tires. Two (2) of which are on fire. This pleases you in ways your mimicry of early nineteen-forties (1940's) Germany never could.

>>212432793
Oh, so you have nothing and have just been seethe posting pics by yourself for the past hour. Sad. Enjoy your thread.

>>212432835
I've quantified it for you. You should now understand your quantities. No confusing vectors or metric units involved.

I hope you're enjoying the fireworks!

>>212432835
Your caprice is still running in leaded gas

>>212433071
Tetraethyl lead is America's one true gift to the world!

sometimes it's wild to go down the rabbithole of anglo replies back-to-front and the chevrolet caprice analogy didn't let me down

>>212433245
What analogy? The USA is literally an inward-in-time tilted tesseract with a rusted out Chevy Caprice as its locus.
