I think it's about equal. I am from Mass and go to school in Nova Scotia. I feel like the south is equally as foreign as Canada, although probably not more. In certain ways, yes. In others, no.
I'll have to think about it and come up with a more detailed answer
The Pacific NW is more like Canada. Not the northeast or southwest
That completely depends on what part of Canada. the PNW is more like BC. New England is more like the maritimes. All of the Northeast and Midwest is more like Ontario. Plains states are more like the prairies. Texas, along with most rockies states (MT, WY) are more like Alberta.
You can't say the PNW is more like Canada. Canada is just as diverse as the US.
Not at all, when I go to the South it feels like the same country but if I was to go to Canada I would feel like wow I'm in another country. To me the Northern US feels like a combination of the Southern US and Southern Canada, but the US and Canada are so similar it feels like the same country most of the time.

To the average person, probably not. To me personally I feel much more at home in large cities Canada than in the South. It's a lifestyle and philosophical difference that crosses national boundaries.

I feel the same, I feel more at home in the major Canadian cities than I do in most southern cities.

Same here and I'm only 1 generation removed from the South.
I think this would depend on what you mean by "The West" and "The North" and where in Canada is meant.
I'd guess that several towns in Kern County, California are more like the South than they are like Toronto. That someone from Rexburg, Idaho might find the Southern culture easier to adjust to than Vancouver, British Columbia. Or that the Appalachian towns of Pennsylvania might have more in common with Knoxville than Winnipeg.
By the same token it makes sense someone in Seattle might find Vancouver much easier an adjustment than they would Shreveport, Louisiana. Or someone in New York City find Toronto easier than Mobile, Alabama. Or even someone in Bozeman, Montana finding Calgary, Alberta less foreign than Macon, Georgia.
