But for the rest I agree with you.

But for the fact that we are parliamentary and they are presidential, I actually don't think the political views are that different when it comes down to it. Our ancestors come from the same European nations and we are virtually the same people. The French are the notable difference, but it is far exagerated for the sake of drama. As I have always said the real differences are regional, not a border. Here in Nova Scotia we have more in common with someone from New England, both socially and politically than someone from Alberta or Kansas, Texas, or British Columbia while someone from Alberta has more in common with someone from Montana than with someone from Nova Scotia.
