OK, maybe we have a *similar* culture but it is NOT the same.  There are so many totally unique things about our country and our Australian-ness that you just couldn't merge us in as another state.  Apart from the constitutional mess, do you really want their health system?  Even though Medicare is a bit or a shamozzle, at least we have it here.  You don't get charged hundreds of dollars for showing up at the emergency ward and you get your drugs subsidised.  Our minimum wage is higher.  \n\nAs for us "going along with everything", that is part of being allies, although I think we should have made a stand about David Hicks and his treatement at that hell hole prison.  It is one thing to stand up against terror, but it doesn't give you the right to take away anyone's human rights without a trial.  I think it is very positive that John Howard has forged some good links with Bush, but I do worry that we do follow a little too blindly sometimes.   I love the USA and would love to visit, but I don't want to be a citizen.  I'm sure that many over there would say the same about Australia but not want to be one of our citizens.  They probably look at some of the things we do and the way we run our country and shudder just as much as we do when we look at their country's politics.

Canada - settled in a similar fashion to the US, more or less similar in population structure and similar economic systems.

Canadians know more about America than Americans know about Canada. This makes sense because America is a superpower, therefore U.S. culture is so ubiquitous. I'm an American and know a lot more about Canada than most Americans. The Canadian Prime Minister is Stephen Harper. Paul Martin came before him. Jean Chretien came before Martin. Canadians are generally more liberal. They allow gay marriage. They have very few restrictions on abortion. Attempting suicide is not illegal there. Canada is officially bilingual. The Queen of England is the head of state i believe. Everything is in metric. They have less violent crime. Canada has universal healthcare.

Canada is more concerned over the enviroment, they provide free health care for their citizens, and much more liberal than the United States (meaning you don't have to listen to people saying all day "Jesus loves you!") And, you don't have to watch boring baseball; there's HOCKEY AND SOCCER!\n\nCanada rules!

Yes, it is on the continent of North America. It has two languages that are spoken: British English and Canadian French. Canada's leader is the Prime Minister. It is divided into provinces. Commercial fishing, timber, and agriculture are very intrinsic to Canada's economy. Tourism is beginning to become a large industry. There are many pristine areas containing abundant wildlife. The major cities have everything that one would find in any major city anywhere on the planet. There is more I could say but I hope this answers your question. Not all American's are uneducated or close-minded, there are plenty that do know about other parts of our planet. :)

It's all in good fun. With all the politically correctness that American society says we should have, there is almost no one that we can joke around about that won't get overly offended. It's not that Americans don't like Canadians, it's that it's safe to joke with Canadians, because so many of them are such good sports about it. Canada is like a close cousin that you pick on at family gatherings.\n\nAlso, many people say mean things about Canada to be ironic. Someone might say that they hate Canada, which is funny and ironic, because there is pretty much nothing to hate about Canada. \n\nSo, because it's ironic and because it's safe, Americans have made jokes about Canada a soft of trendy running gag. There is no true dislike of Canada here, at least, none from me or anyone I've met.

As an American born Canadian, I can tell you that I met equally nice Americans as well as Canadians.  I don't think we're any nicer. \n\nAs for Canadians being snobs about Americans, I actually believe it's true.  I love being Canadian but (and I admit it's a generalization) we define our national identity as being "not" American. I can only imagine that New Zealander's feel the same way about Australians.

- May not be...!\n- Because Canada has closer ties with America.\n- Its also fall in belt of Hardline Christian Causes which insult, paralyze, and destabilize the regions of Islamic countries and middle east.\n- So there is very little to hope so.\n----------------

Only *dumb* Americans resent Canada. I've met some Canadians and I've been to Canada, and I see *no* reason whatsoever to resent them.\n\nI think some idiots took the South Park song "Blame Canada" a bit too seriously and have absolutely *no* idea what satire nor sarcasm really is.

I do not know the laws in Australia but I don't believe they differ to much from the US. In the US you still qualify as a bigot.
