If you read further along in the thread Desert_SW_77 posted, the comments written by Nat and Chevy start to become reinforced in that thread as well by most of the Canadian posters.

Frankly I'm observing that it's the other way around. More of America is becoming Canadianized. It's a gradual process but it's definitely happening. Eventually all of America will be more like Canada and I think that will be a better thing for everyone.

There won't be a merger though.

and, yes, I know....there are lots of American cities that are colder. It's just a joke.
Even during summer people continue to bash the colder northern cities.....where are all of the "get me out of this heat" threads?!

Feel free to hop onto an airplane and fly over to John Wayne Airport in Orange County and take public transit to Disneyland just 14 miles away. It's just a 27 minute drive by car or a 1 hour 30 minute + commute that requires you to get on three different buses. Have fun.
No, compared to:

Omaha
Madison
Birmingham
Des Moines
Tons of other US cities

My point is that Canada has too few cities to just say that Canadian cities have better public transit.

oh yes you guys are the best!!! bow down to Canada everyone!

Now what does "Canadianized" mean, shoot what does "Americanized" mean... Humans and their cultures all seem to greatly influence culture, i can't find it easy to separate cultures by nations.

Every American city also has public transit.

Also, what "small city" 2 hours from Toronto has a subway?!

For a given population, transit ridership/usage is typically higher in Canada than the U.S
