Canada and u.s the most similar country in the world? Wait whattt ????\nCanadians don't like guns the mentalities and the culture are totally different between these 2 country \n\nBrazil and Portugal are the most similar country in the world my friend\nSame culture and same way we see life.. the only differences is the accents, brazil have samba and portugal have fado, the traditional food in brazil it's feijouada and in portugal it's bacalhão.. Brasil ?? Portugal ?? Vamos Caralho!!!!

I love Canada with all my heart but having visited there, i realised their racism was subtle and the racism towards blacks where from the different groups the Chinese, the whites and last but not least the Punjabi Indians.

I think everyone has their own bias / opinion for any person. Regardless if they are the same race or different. People of the same race can dress differently and people will have different opinions. All we can do is to be our best not to behave in a rude or hurtful way. And I feel for the most part, in major multicultural areas, Canadians are doing their part. \nSome of the tests in the video seem a bit too high level. It's not really scientific. You can't make any definite conclusions from it.

I really enjoyed your videos. They are real, light, educational and informative. \nI have lived in Canada all my life and the differences were spot on. Except you forget to mention that we do not have $1 and $2, we have loonies and toonies and our paper dollars are coloured \nI saw that you went to the Dominican Republic but what about Haiti? They have a similar beginning and can be used to do your similarities and differences video. It's just a suggestion.

I am a powerful woman raised by my grandparents and my parents in an amazing family. I identify myself as a woman of colour, amazing colour, it embraces me and reflects back my beauty for all around me to see. We were given every opportunity to explore the world where we lived and had passion for reading books, I was encouraged to explore so much of the world and ideologies. Issues of racism existed around me and this was unquestionable, but we had a safe place in a family with committed parents to develop and make our mark on the world. How refreshing to explore the world from a safe place and our parents especially my father encouraged us to mix with people of all cultures, because he firmly believed and I also believe there is only one race, the human race. We look different on the outside but let’s enjoy the fact that God made of one flesh all people. So, impressed with my amazing grandparents and parents... I love myself and I love the world that we live in, even though everyone is not perfect, we are are amazing. I was born in Jamaica, raised in England, UK, and now live in Canada.

@the 22 mark,listen heres the 411, When you go into a shop to actually shop, you act and look different. He had tells that he was not shopping, so they were suspicious. in 50 years I've only ONCE had a security guard actually follow me in a best buy, and it was actually because of the type of coat I was wearing, if you fit a specific group or look a certain way, THIS DOES HAPPEN... OMG there is actually real racism out there, the shops is not one of them

Hey Drew, it's surprising that you forgot to mention the obsession with guns in the USA amongst the differences

Why not tell tell the true story of today's racing work places instead of going back to old stories of yesterday time and time again?. Work place issue are more important today than retelling the same old story again and again. How can we change by the current situation to make it better? Nothing new to learn from this now because of the difference in time. CBC should do better.

At least two more differences between the US and Canada (I'm a Montrealer myself with American-born parents):\n\n1) When going to the different parts of Canada, they feel that much more different from each other (in the buildings, highway signs, etc.) than the different parts of the US. For example, British Columbia feels like a foreign country compared to not just Quebec (the most obviously different province in Canada) but also compared to Nova Scotia or Manitoba, whereas Washington state or Minnesota is less different than Pennsylvania or Massachusetts.\n\n2) Native Americans (or First Nations, as they're called in Canada) make up a way higher proportion of the Canadian than American population, though less so percentage-wise in Montreal or Toronto or even Quebec City, and they are thus much more in the consciousness of the average Canadian than the average American.

Look at the towns and cities of both Canada and the USA. Can y’all tell the difference?

theres a major difference, we dont have over 500k coronavirus patients, like damn, china is doing such a good job dealing with it, like how do you get like 5x more then china and in a couple weeks, like BRUH. canadians are trying to stop the spread, and it works. but usa, how the HECK DO U GET THAT MANY CASES

Another major difference - The US uses the imperial system (miles, yards, feet and pounds etc), whereas Canada uses the Metric system (kilometer, meters, cm, kilograms etc)

Just a british creation no differences

You totally missed gun law differences and drinking/gambling ages

As a Quebecker, I find Canadians and Americans to be different in manners and culture. Canadians are reserved and polite, Americans friendlier. Both are forgiving of my terrible accent in English tho

Drew can you make a video of the difference between Syria,Palestine,Jordan and Lebanon

From the States: It's really nice to have a video like this. Thanks Drew for exposing the similarities and differences of our neighbor, Canada.

I'm from London UK and I honestly can not tell the difference between the Canadian and American accent

Another Difference: USA has a lot of Blacks and african culture is huge in USA. USA has more Blacks than all Canadas population.

There’s really only 3 big cities in Canada, Toronto Montreal and Vancouver. Which are completely different than all of Canada. Toronto is very similar to London England. Whereas Montreal is really similar to Paris. Not so much in architecture, but in terms of people, life, style, slang. Lots of people in Toronto listen to toronto artist and UK artist as well whereas Montreal residents listen to their Montreal artist and French artist from France. Most of the similarities here are actually not like any American cities. America to us seems really “white” there’s not lot of diversity there either. Toronto is so diverse, People from literally everywhere its so nice to see. Our Prime Minister also a lot better looool

Canada? We speak like Americans but look, we say ''EH'' at the end of our phrases. That makes us sound Canadian. If you think that adding a stupid word at the end of a phrase is creating an accent, its an insult for all the countries that have spend centuries to develop an actual accent that makes them sound different from the others. You guys are in denial.

Drew can your subtitles be in some different constant monochrome background ? \nI find it difficult to read between the changing backgrounds

There’s a common saying which states that the difference between Canadians and Americans is that “while Americans side with their fellow citizens against the government, Canadians side with their government against their fellow citizens.” This is stereotype is the best explanation as to why Canada can’t see to develop a viable market economy or compete with other nations on innovations in STEM or the arts. The problem with Canada is that it never developed a culture outside of “not being American” and the result is that their government has been allowed to grow to an enormous size and basically strangle all of the talent out of the country. Canada, despite the fact that it’s an English speaking country on the North American continent, is virtually nothing like America is any sense of the term, and actually has more in common with Scandinavia than it does with the country that borders it’s south.

Canadians are way nicer than Americans, they have better education. They dont curse, they more understanding and racional.I have worked in the customer care industry for over 10 years and I've noticed the huge difference

Drew: Canadians spell words differently from America\nMe: That is because Canada and majority of English speaking countries use the British English

There is a huge difference in their immigration policies too, in America people are kind of expected to assimilate. Whereas in Canada people are encouraged to be distinct culturally. Lived in both states and Canada, currently a resident of Canada so can tell this difference with my own experience. ♥️??

Do Australia and New Zealand. They are both similar and different

Do Australia and New Zealand. They are both similar and different

In my experience, what I've seen: anglophone Canada and Canadians are pretty much the same as the rest of the US. Francophone Canada: that's something different. People speak another language, they have a very different culture and they're more conscious about other countries and cultures.

Canadian here in Toronto. Thanks for the video Drew. Very accurate. We're similar in so many ways but there are definitely differences. Today was the day I was supposed to fly to China to take a tour in North Korea. Yes you heard that right. YouTubers like you and similar others have inspired me to try different destinations and experiences. However, that will have to be out on hold for the time being... :(

You forgot one major difference:\nGetting Canadian VISA Is EASIER Than the American one. ASK indians for referenc??e

Error china is bigger than us becaus of sea or ocean terretory so china wins becaus its land and us is lower but many count the ocean terretory so us is 4th biggest country also dont say then why canada is 2th when its 2m km of sea bc its different read

Another big difference is that firearms are not easily attainable in Canada ?

Make a video about China and Japan similarities and differences

I think you should make more videos on similarity and differences of countries.

The only difference is that Americans say 'OUT & ABOUT' whereas Canadians say 'OOT & ABOOT'.

It's ice hockey... field hockey is quite different..

Differences??\nCanada doesn't have an asshole of a leader like Trump.

I can never tell the difference between Canada and America in language especially and people

Please do the difference between Australia and New Zealand

You forgot one huge difference.... Canada is a commonwealth, the USA is not.

A main difference is that Canada is better because hey, Canada has still the crown as their head of state\n\nEnd.

I can definitely feel a big difference when driving from Detroit to Toronto, a hour drive. I think the difference is bigger than the difference I experienced when driving from Vienna to Budapest, two very different countries economically.

Another difference: In Canada, people sleep in igloos, while in America people sleep in teepees!\n?????

BIGGEST DIFFERENCE\n\nIn Canada: neither you get shot in school nor you become bankrupt paying your hospital bills

This seems to me like they are very similar and Canada is always the better one in aspects they differ in

One other differences:\nUS use imperial unit (inch, foot, lb., mile),\nCanada use metric system (centimetre, metre, kilogram, kilometre)

..If people would get acceptable wages, they wouldn’t depend on tips.. “Great service” and people kissing ass to make ends meet are two different things..

I've lived my whole life in canada, and two years ago moved to the USA. And I got to say, its so much different. the only similar thing is the buildings and the atmosphere. people are different, different fast food and grocery chains, they arent very similar.

Like how india and Pakistan; see any difference?
