It’s the attitude like this that has fed the “might as well become a state” rhetoric. We quite literally are a foreign country because we’re not part of theirs. Unless Americans only use the word foreign to mean scary/nonwhite.
we are NOT the same country.
we have similar culture and values, similar, but not the same.
there are some things that Canadians firmly choose the Red door on, where Americans chose the Blue door.
those fundemental differences is what makes us a seperate country. there are many things we are on the same page of, but there are many things we might as well be cats and dogs on as well.
