I've got to disagree with you there. Canada has not shared with us many of the events that have really shaped America: the revolution, the civil war, becoming a superpower after WWII, the civil rights movement, etc..

While the two countries have not shared in the specific events that helped shaped each nation, both have turned out rather similar. Sure, Canada is more liberal and the US is more conservative (at this time, and politically speaking), but there aren't really that many differences.
There's certainly no other place a citizen of either country could go to that would feel as much like "home" while still being a different country.

We're less gun crazy, 11 million guns and yet only ~200 gun deaths per year.
Also we pronounce words differently and spell em differently, Labour, colour, etc.

I thought about that, too. But atleast some of that could be attributed to languages in Europe - there's a lot more languages spoken in Britain than in Canada.

Nah, I think I'd feel more at home in Canada than Britain or Australia. I think Canada/USA culture is closer when compared to those.

Having been to both Canada and England, I feel more at home in England. But, then, I kind of prefer England to the States, so YMMV.

I can't believe nobody's gone all Bob & Doug MacKenzie in this thread yet. There's a mouse in my beer, eh.
