I assumed all of Canada was basically like living in an episode of Trailer Park Boys or Letterkenny

This is horrifying and beautiful.
Thanks
Canadians are like Minnesotan's with better healthcare and the metric system.
Not too far off from what I picture, except usually more flannel.
As a Canadian, with the preface that some of my best friends are Americans and I mean this with all due love and respect, we see you as the Ferengi not the Klingons.
Very fair. I'm Canadian and was torn between the two. I think you can make a case for either as America feels like hyper capitalism. But, the whole "guns EVERYWHERE" thing pushed me to Klingon.
Perhaps it may come as a surprising opinion but I have met and known a lot of great Americans that are kind and polite to a fault while knowing some Canadians that are petty warmongering ignoramus.
Nevertheless, I can understand that I probably haven't met enough Americans from every States to have an overview of the ignoramuses that exist accross the border (beyond what is depicted, often exaggerated, in the media and memes — excepting the whole neverending Trump & Friends saga). Not that I absolutely want to meet them either, I have enough to deal with easily Facebook duped and misinformed relatives and sometimes colleagues.
I somehow felt like sharing my general experience after seeing that funny comparison of perceptions.
It's a mixed bag on both sides imo. Canada seems to emulate the culture of the States to a tee' in some places.
What is the lower picture from?
Ottawa in the summer
The rest of the world: Wait, Canada and America aren't the same?
Me at work, in Spain, reading news about gun violence: Americans sure do like their guns!
My Cuban coworker: Do you mean North America, Central America, South America, or Caribbean America?
Me: ... sorry. The USA.
QAPLA!
