Thanks for the thoughtful and unbiased comparison between Canada and the USA. I especially appreciated the illustration of the flag on each door and the contrasting undergrounds. That picture is a perfect summary of your entire essay. Also the fleeting reference to Robertson Davies, a favourite author of mine.
Oh yes Marnie! The two door illustration is just brilliant. Re Robertson Davies, my first introduction to him was in my first year English course (as a mature student). Many decades have passed, and I’m now finding the time to rediscover, or really to discover, him. So I thank you for both parts of your comment! 🫶 🇨🇦
The boundary conditions for the two countries are subtly different. When my husband I talk about the differences between USA and Canada , we consistently come back to “they are so violent “.
This is just an amazing comparison of what makes Canadians different from Americans. Frankly, I take our Canadian 🇨🇦 “floor,” over whatever it is that Americans think is better, every day of the week and ten times on Sunday! Thank you for those - not only the comparison, but also how cleanly and honestly it is laid out! GOOD JOB MY FRIENDS!! And I thank you, every day of the week, and twice on Sunday! 🫶🫶🇨🇦🇨🇦
