What's the difference between a Canadian and an American? - robkelk - 02-16-2025
Q: What's the difference between a Canadian and an American?
A: A Canadian knows the difference between a Canadian and an American.
Yes, that sounds like a joke, but it's serious: Canadians know far more about Americans than Americans know about Canadians.
Here are some things that Canadians believe. We might not always practice them, but we believe them:
- Immigration is a net benefit to society.
- A person's biological sex makes no difference to that person's ability to do any job.
- A person's biological sex makes no difference to who that person can fall in love with, or marry.
- A person's skin colour makes no difference to that person's ability to do any job.
- A person's skin colour makes no difference to who that person can fall in love with, or marry.
- Religion has no place in politics.
- Religion has no place in criminal law.
- Historical injustices should be rectified.
- What whites did to indigenous peoples is a series of historical injustices.
- Since people contribute more to society when they are healthy than when they are sick, health care should be paid for by society.
- Socialism is not communism.
- "Socialism" is not a dirty word.
- Prisons exist for rehabilitation, not for punishment.
- Firearms are for hunting, not for self-defence.
- Concealed carry of a firearm is something that only criminals do.
- People need to be trained and licensed before being allowed to operate a car unsupervised, just like they need to be trained and licensed before being allowed to operate a firearm unsupervised.
- Alcohol is no worse to society than marijuana is.
- Political cartoonists shouldn't take sides, they're supposed to skewer everybody equally.
- The word "colour" has six letters, and the second-last letter is a "u".
Got any more differences?

The third Monday in February is Family Day, not Presidents' Day.

Canadians don't throw a hissy fit if someone in their country doesn't speak English.

Funny how they stopped airing this hugely-popular ad when they were bought out by a US company... but, yeah, it mentions some more differences in the stereotype-busting.
