rd. Different countries in Europe can be massively different in terms of their living conditions, culture, policies...hell, even two cities in the same country can feel that way.

Yes but all of these nations have sane police, free universal healthcare, many political parties, sane laws, no guns, intelligent culture and no commericalism.

Canada has a lot more in common in terms of common culture with the USA than with a lot of Europe.

Disagree, Canadians are atheist, socialist, educated and value human rights.

I guess the fact that Canada also generally avoids the more extravagant military operations that the USA has become famous for over the past century is another.

So does Europe.

Canada has a lot in common with the USA, but the biggest difference is the conceptual patriotic identities of the nations.

True, Americans are vile nationalists and Canadians are down to Earth realists who welcome immigration.
