I disagree. While Quebec is the most European area, the other areas have all had major cultural influence from the British Isles, especially the other Eastern Provinces. Speaking a common language, of course the US influence is a little stronger, but it's quite accurate to describe Canada as somewhere between America and Europe culturally, politically, ideologically, and in terms of urban form.

I've only been able to answer with what i know and as i'm English and European the EU is what i know best...
This is a bit strange given that you really can live in one city. Also, how much of North America are we including? Central America, too? The Caribbean?

Quebec is certainly not Europe planted in North America, but it is still way closer to the EU (on most aspects cited above) than even the rest of Canada is. On so many levels. It is truly the best example of a mix of both. (For better and for worse, BTW.)
The hip and progressive cities in the rest of Canada also have some similarities with the EU, but I'd say this is true of several hip and progressive cities in the U.S. as well.

No. USA, Mexico and Canada
