American artists find fame easier than Canadian artists. The majority of Canadian artists struggle to make it or have to leave the country to have a chance at success. Thanksgiving is held the first Monday in October, instead of the third Thursday of November in the United States. Canadians are thankful on this occasion, but it does not hold the intense meaning as it does in the United States. Remembrance, er, Memorial Day appears to be more important to Canadians as a national holiday where all students and workers are given a day off to commemorate the soldiers.
Patriotism is important and vibrant to the American soul.
Americans wear their hearts on their sleeve, whereas Canadians are more subtle and quiet about their pride. Canada is seen as a peacekeeping nation. Whereever a Canadian travels they are greeted warmly. America is seen as a superpower, where threats may be waged against Americans traveling abroad. Americans and Canadians pronounce words differently.
