Canada is like a version of America where the people never wanted to separate from England (or France).

As for the income tax question someone asked it's about 30% (not including income under $8,500 which is exempt), but more if you make a lot of money.

I got shouted at by a security guard in Toronto, so therefore New england/New york > Ottowa. I didn't mind Quebec, though. Montreal was stunning.

There have been 500 Canadian threads, and I keep saying Jones Soda Green Apple flavor is the second best thing to come from Canada.

Despite what the media portrays, the majority of the country does not speak with an east coast accent.

To those decrying Canada for Celine Dion, Avril Lavigne, and Bryan Adams, I have one thing to say*; Rush, the Guess Who, and Neil Young.

*Ok three things.

As far as I've experienced Canadians, they're friendly, but have views on drugs and sex that make mine pale in comparison - and I'm Dutch. Note that this is not a bad thing.

Errr your like a nicer safer America from what I've hear, and its cold, oh and you have no sense of humour according to my American friends and you all speak French. Is any of that true?
The first two are correct. We do have a sense of humour, it's just different than America's so they say we don't. Most of us aren't fluent in French, but those that don't speak it know enough to get by.

Unless you are a douchefag that only watches movies then you might think that Wolverine is from Usa and then moved to Canada...
Umm... I think you mistook what I was trying to do... It was a joke. No need to call me douchefag.

You misspelled Wolverine by the way, but don't worry because I fixed it for you.

Canada crash-landed on Earth in 1643 from an unknown origin somewhere outside of our galaxy. Their Nunavut engines and Ontario navigation systems were damaged beyond immediate repair upon landing, and so the Canadians were forced to adapt to Earthen life.

To make things worse, the port wing of Newfoundland was sheared off before the crash, and the starboard wing of Alaska was quickly stolen by the Russians. The Hudson power reactor was destroyed in a devastating explosion, forcing the Canadians to fill the core with water from the Atlantic.

Things went from bad to worse quickly. The section of Earth they had landed in was too cold for their taste, and many native Canadians died from the cold. Those who adapted did so very well, quickly moving to extract the maple syrup from Canada's fuel cells, which were then sent by the Mounties on beaver and moose-back to the Earthen people in exchange for parts to repair Nunavut and Ontario.
However, at the time Earth's population was very far behind the incredible Canadian technology, and the only parts they could muster were logs, which they used to build shelters on the now frozen hull of Canada.

Soon after, Canada was invaded by Earthens calling themselves the 'English' and 'French'. While the two Earthen factions fought over control of the ship, the French soon took control of the Quebec accommodation center for passengers and crew of Canada, and the English took over the Columbia drone hangar, calling it 'British'.

In 1776, the land below Canada became the United States of America. After a brief political war with the Canadian people, they burned down America's White House. To this day, America denies such an event, declaring that the White House and even Canada didn't exist.

Today Canada enjoys a rich cultural heritage, mostly that of the crew of Canada in the years after the landing. Most of their home world technology is lost forever, but they continue to export their precious maple fuel in exchange for Earthen currency, parts and labor.

Canada now boasts vast pine forests, plenty of dramatic Canadian scenery and - frighteningly - a military force to call their own.

Canada is now ruled by Princess Jade Lassassino, who hails from the royal city of Vancouver. She cannot become queen and lead her people to glory until she is married.

You know how some people are. They just go on the little things they know about a country to form a negative opinion. "Americans are fat, too patriotic, and ignorant.", "Brits are inbred, pale, Monarchy-loving, racists.", "Canadians are unimportant, igloo-living, hockey-loving, sheep with no culture.". Sound familiar yet? I even met one jagoff from Alaska who went on that "the whole country is frozen" shtick.

Ottawa is a city in Ontario, as is Toronto.

I'm Canadian by birth and I have atually been asked if it's hard to build an igloo in the summer
