I think so, but maybe I just think so because I love foreign culture and I want to know where everything is located.\n\nI've heard people from Europe complaining that American's don't know geography at all and they look down on that. I think people should know atleast some basics.\n\n(A side note - I was talking to someone yesterday who thought Korea was somewhere between the UK and Norway... I think they were refering to Denmark... -_-)

I got a new friend came from europe here he loves it . Canada is the best place in the world to live. We are all brothers and sisters canada is diverse in cultures , languages, people. We are a multicultural country and proud of it thats what Canada is built upon. We do not believe in assimilation like our neighbours to the south. Also it is a country here where we , feed the poor , take care of our old, and health care and poverty. We are still a country where we do not lock our doors and trust people.

Yes. There's this country in Europe next to Spain I think it starts with a P and ends in something like  "ortugal". They all will be rooting for the Portuguese. If im not mistaking. ... I do believe so.

Well here is where the problem lies.  A person living in Argentia is an American.  A person that lives in Mexico is an American.  A person that lives in Canada is an American.  Our country is just united states of the continent North America that we live on.  If I dont get best answer for this Im gonna be mad!

More usable in the U.S. would be Spanish.

If that ever happens a few years later Spanish will officially be made the second language.\nIt wouldn't be the first time a country was officially bi-lingual. Look at Canada,where it's English and French.

No.  Canada is a lot more like Europe than America in many ways.  What they should do is form a united currency which would cut a lot of the costs out of trade.

Yes, I like y'all pretty well.  Americans find it almost impossible to think of Canada as a foreign country. . . we even have some of your money circulating around down here and people spend it just like ours.  We think the same thing about Australia and New Zealand and Britain, though.  Just family members who happen to live in different houses.

Well to tell you the truth I really disagree with both terms. I don't agree with them because they both neglect our indigenous background. Both terms are Eurocentric and where implemented by the U.S. So if you really think about it we have been label as either Latin Euro or Spanish but many of us are Mestizos and we must take into consideration the indigenous blood in us. I guess the moral of the story is that individuals should not be labeled to the convenience of others. Instead take into consideration your self identity and what really encompasses who you are and remember that individuals should also know why you are Hispanic, Latino, or Chicano.

I am Canadian with many relatives in the US.  I have spent 35 years between the two countries and let me tell you, there are many social differences between the two countries.  I could spend the next two hours writing on the subject, but I will try to sum it up quickly and simply.  \n\nThe United Nations examines many cultural and social aspects when they determine their top 50 countries to live in list.\n\nLiteracy, infant mortality, life expectancy, murder rates, corruption, and poverty to list but a few. Using these aspects to measure a country's "status" as it were.  Canada has fallen on the list over the years to Norway, but for most of the 90'S we were #1.  The US was around the 25-30 area.\n\nI point out to my American relatives (all of whom believe that their nation is the best in the world, even though many have never travelled) that their communist neighbour Cuba has a higher standard of living than they do according to the UN.\n\nAs humble as we Canadians like to think we are, we are very proud and grateful that many of the negative social challenges that are ever present in the US don't exist here (at least not on the scale it is in the US).  I don't know one Canadian who would ever want our two nations to merge.\n\nWe have a relatively unknown multi-cultured utopia up here and we would like to keep it that way.

French but in the US Spanish might be a better idea

I'm Canadian. Under no circumstances would I call myself American.\n\nAnd the name "Europe" is becoming synonymous with the European Union, and so for example including Ireland and excluding Switzerland. (Although it's true that the Swiss would be more likely to call themselves "Europeans" than the Irish would.)\n\nAnd while you're at it, I know a fair number of US citizens (some who have no other citizenship) who were NOT born in the USA.

I've come up against that often. It drives me crazy (and I'm from one of the two countries that do get listed). It seems that about 1/3 of people think there are only two countries in North America, another 1/3 think there are noly three (this time including Mexico) and no more than 1/3 of the people I've met (even North Americans themselves) know that there are dozens of countries in North America (37 countries and territories), which includes everything north of Colombia, Venezuela and the Guianas.\n\nIf you want to be proactive, you should write to the editors of the web sites that you've seen it in. Education is the only way to defeat ignorance!

Some of you may think this is a silly question, but it's really not. There is a trend, especially in Europe, for returning more power to states/provinces. Scotland now has its own government that decides most if not all of their domestic affairs. Catalonia in Spain wants independence. A few years ago Quebec came very close to leaving Canada. The fact of the matter is, culturally, the southern part of the U.S. is just really different then the northeast and western parts of the United States. Take a look of a map showing where the "red" states are and the "blue" states. See a trend? Just think about it; wouldn't a lot of you blue state folks be happier joining Canada in some great big socialist experiment?

why not blend US and Canada history and do the history of the "underground railroad" where slaves escaped from the US into Canada and became free?  \n\nJust a thought.
