Canada, Just Another USA?
Canadians enjoy the sport of turning differences between themselves and Americans into lists of “The Best Reasons to Live in Canada and Not the USA.” If you ask Canadians to tell you about their country, they may laugh and say, “We are not the USA!”
On page 115 you can read more about some of the things that make Canada such a special country.
Note: On page 119, it says "in 1865, Canada got sovereignty from Britain". The correct year is 1867.
