Canadian and American cultures overlap so much that they are indistinguishable from each other. Sure you have the Kids in the Hall, SCTV, Margaret Atwood, and the ultra-pretentious Glenn Gould but really, is there that much of a divide? Could Canadians cogently explain Cuban refugee status, NASCAR history, or recite the Gettysburg address? Some could I'm sure but mostly I'm guessing no. There's so much anti-Americanism in the the world now, some of it justified, that any article on the subject will be printed, even poor ones like at the start of this thread. This reminds me of the hour I spent in a German bar convincing someone that Sesame Street was an American show even though there is a German language version. My sister spent a month this spring dogsledding near Hudson bay and the pictures she sent back are of an ice-locked tundra, yet I don't stereotype. And yes Canadians I should tell you that there are parts of your country with snow in June!
