Default Canada vs. America

I don't know much about Canada. Can someone tell me the biggest differences between the two countries? Do they have the same freedoms that we do?

I'm originally from Canada, but live in the States. Generally speaking, they're very similar. Different politics, different laws, different health care system and better beer . They use the metric system, spell some words a little differently (colour vs. color) and add "eh" to the end of questions and phrases. LOL!

We pay more in taxes than Americans, but for that, we have Universal Healthcare to show for it...

I'm always amazed that Canada is bigger (area wise) than the U.S. and yet we have only 30 million to the U.S.'s 300 million!

Jeepers y'all must be cramped down there?

"As well as stop the White Stripes from their Canada tour."

You can keep 'em I prefer the Hip anyday

Although it should have been M&M's compared to smarties and not those rockets! We have those too in Canada!

universal healthcare sucks for many though. I have heard many Canadians are coming here to have surgery. If you need a surgery there you sometimes have to wait months to get seen. Also I have heard that getting second and third opinions is extremely difficult.
