The two countries are pretty similar. I grew up in Calgary but went to school in Montana for five years and lived in Denver CO. for a little over three years. Came back home to Calgary because of family, and it is just home to me.
Living in the US for a little over eight years brought me to one conclusion, we are pretty much the same.
I must say though, at times the US protectionist mentality was hard on me. My work place was great. But there was an incident one time where some fishing ships in the Vancouver area blockaded a passenger ship from the US in some sort of fishing rights dispute. I had nothing to do with it but a few people in my office hated me for weeks. They told me I should go home. It was the only time in my life I had real discrimination in my face, over something I had no control over.
