they're more typically Canadian if anything. Though the French-speaking ones obviously don't get much American influence.
Actually Nei - I think you'd be as likely to find a Montrealer shopping at Walmart or watching Interstellar at a Cineplex as you would a Torontonian.. I will say however that there is certainly a more developed separate French language culture obviously but the American influence both corporately and culturally in terms of stores, TV and movies is still very very strong.
Well they own a house in arizona so you are wrong.
Well maybe they talk about America so much because they live there? lol.. most Canadians don't though a lot of snowbirds (retired Canadians) do because of cheap real estate and nice weather.. They can afford it and the bones can't take the cold no more in the winter.

I'm not talking about shops we have walmart here and forever 21 etc but culture.
Yes what the heck is that all about - GOD its annoying
Its like the insecure person who needs to constantly be reminded how much he is loved and how great he is....
Indeed. I think this thread should have been closed after Camaro's excellent post a few pages back considering nobody has made a convincing argument against him.

Yes they said they moved because they can't take the cold anymore.

what culture are you referring to? music, movies, tv? who doesn't watch American TV or Movies or listen to American music.. If you do it doesn't make you American. I like to listen to Pavarotti - does this make me Italian?

Well what exactly seperates the two countries? I struggled to find differences.

I don't get your logic... I'm pretty sure you listen to American music, watch American TV shows and watch American movies... Does this mean that the UK or any other country that heavily consumes American 'culture' should be required to justify its separation from the U.S? Again I think you can find all the answers on your own if you think about it logically. Aside from that, if you are that interested in what actually does separate Canada from the U.S or any other nation for that matter - why don't you visit us and see and experience it for yourself..
If you need an example or two - many Torontonians go to the Symphony and listen to performances from Composers the world over and more so foreign than domestic but this doesn't mean that because we listen to more foreign performances than domestic that we aren't separate from Italy, Russia, France etc.. It also doesn't mean that I don't engage in Canadian performances or watch locally produced Canadian theatre at the Tarragon theatre...

Government, sometimes political views, some minor cultural things and other small stuff.
I've seen you complain about the Irish, but I'd bet nobody but the people from NI and Ireland could tell the difference between the two of you.
