Unnecessarily snarky much lol?.. How am I to know what level of knowledge you have, osmosis? Vulcan mind meld?
btw I didn't get into 'better' I was simply talking about ridership in a given population.. I'm not sure about government subsidies for car usage in Canada vs the U.S. but i'm sure there are a number of factors.
Actually I was being sincere, that was enlightening!
Canada is like being in mid size American city, even montreal outside the old historic area which is where tourists congregate feels really north american and suburban.
Canada has more in common politically with north west part of US than any where else in the US. And Quebec have more in common politically with Europe than Canada politically.
The US is split politically and very divided country. Where Canada is more unity and united.With the exceptions of Alberta and Quebec politically is very different.

Was thinking about this a bit more and "except Quebec" isn't a small detail. It's almost a quarter of the country!

Not really IMO. Anti-government sentiment is much more prevalent in the American Northwest compared to Canada. I'd say Canadian politics is more aligned with New England.
I've lived in Europe for over ten years and have visited Canada and Canada is nothing like Europe (they wish though)

My girlfriend whose first visit outside Europe was to Canada would mentioned how big everything was, big cars, big people, big houses, big shopping malls, no public transportation, big portions. Then we went to the US and she said "I see where Canada got its idea of everything has to be big from"
Mexico felt more like Europe with its old architecture, family oriented traditions, big squares full of restaurants, colorful dense neighborhoods etc. But Canada felt like the US.
There is plenty of public transportation in the cities but Canada definitely has its fair share of suburbia, SUVs/minivans, fast food, and shopping centres like the US.

I think you mean libertarian base and pro guns difference of north west part of US.
So when it comes to LGBT and marijuana more liberal.
More hippies ,punks , hipsters and counter culture like Portland and Seattle
Canadian cities have terrible public transportations compared to latin american, asian or European cities, perhaps compared to the massively suburban north american city, canadian cities are thriving, dense metropolis vastly connected... but compared to the rest of the world, canadian cities are very suburban and spread out just like US cities.
As far as crime rate, crime is very overrated in most places around the world, unless you're in a war zone, crime most likely will never affect you anywhere!
I don't know what makes Canadians think their cities truly stand out from the North American cities, Canadian cities are just as spread out, suburban and dead boring as most cities in the US!

Yes, but more conservative on economic and labor issues.
I thought they would be more pro guns and pro military.Where people in Canada are anti-guns and anti-military.
Canada more into labor unions than the North west part of US.
