>Canada is more like the US than not. We have our differences, and many Canadians like to act smugly superiour to our friends to the South but we're very similar.

We have significant differences throughout society. Fot instance, the "perception of differences/pride/etc is a sign of Canadian smugness" cliche is an element of the Canadian inferiority complex, which is a cultural idiom that the US obviously doesn't have.

Generalizing Canadians in general is nonsensical. As a Nova Scotian, I'm well aware that I have very different different perceptions than Albertans do.
