You say 'Americanised' when in reality they are just 'Globalised' like the rest of the planet (including the American continent).
I think when people say 'Americanized' they mean countries/cities/regions that have recently developed and invested for the sole purpose of American tourists with American Food Chains, Hotels and accepting US Currency. Examples include Cancun and Aruba.
Not sure about the examples given by kroll. Certainly not Brazil, Panama Belize...

This.
The UK has a lot more European influence, whilst British culture itself remains quite strong.
Similarly other Anglosphere countries such as Australia and New Zealand are to far away from the US to have the direct contact that Canada has with parts of the US.
However Canada remains proud of it's own culture and uniqueness, but is in a position where it's open to a lot of US influence and culture.

I'd like to think Canada takes the good things from other countries, and tries not to get the bad.
UK influence in Canada really depends on where you are in Canada. That said there are cultural things from the Uk that still exist. Like in this story.
