Interesting map.
I find a lot of Canadians think the US is essentially just Canada but with nicer weather. It's not! Also the hot weather is actually not nice in most of the country. As crappy as it is to be outside in January in Calgary, it's equally as crappy to be outside in July in DC, or New York or Houston or most of the United States.
On the flip side, I find lots of Americans think that Canada is just a colder version of the United States, but without any political or social problems. It's true in a sense, but I think a lot of Americans romanticize life in Canada as this fairy land where dreams come true and everyone is happy. The funny thing is, I find it's true whether they're Democrats or Republicans.
