Canada and the United states while closely related also have many differences. Today we will be covering the differences in their governments and Regional divisions. The distinction between their languages. And the diversity between holidays. You can think of Canada and the United states as siblings. While they are very similar they have their differences. First, there is a large difference between governments. In Canada they have what is called a Federal Constitutional Monarchy.

While in the U.S. there are many languages spoken, English is the main dialect. In Canada they have two main languages, which are English and French. In Quebec, the biggest French speaking province in all of Canada, about 80% of the people are francophone's, meaning French is their first language. And 95% of the people in Quebec can speak French either as their first or second language. Last, there is the difference between some of the holidays. In Canada they have some holidays that most of US. Citizens have never heard of like Family Day, which takes place on Feb. 8 to celebrate families. Or Canada Day, which is held on July first. Canada Day is much like the United States Memorial day. There are even some of the same holidays, like Thanksgiving, but it is held at different times. In Canada Thanksgiving is on the second Monday in October, but in the Us. Thanksgiving it is held on the 4th Thursday in November. In conclusion, there are many similarities between Canada and the United states, but there are also a great amount of differences. Like how Canada has a Prime minister rather than a president. How, the United states main language is English while in Canada it is both French and English. And while both countries celebrate Thanksgiving it is held at different times. These are just a few of the many discrepancies between Canada and the United States of
Canada is a strong and independent country made up of thirteen unique provinces and territories. However, it took great efforts for Canada to become the united nation it is today. The British colonies were facing many problems. One solution for these issues was for the colonies to come together and form one county or nation. There were a number of different factors that pushed the colonies of British North America towards confederation. Due to political deadlock, economic challenges and pressure from the United States, confederation was absolutely necessary for the well-being and progress of Canada.
Government the ancient Egypt government is different than the Canadian government but somewhat the same the ancient government had no elections, It was kind of like a dictatorship, Whatever the king said was done,the people that praised him had no say to any of the decisions they made or anything they wanted. To become a king you must be the king's child there is no other way, There was one way, If the towns people created their own army and fought for it but that never happened. The was kind of the same but mostly different we have a queen but she doesn't make the decisions and she gives us the right to say what we want and we the people of canada make decisions.

According to Michael Moore in his moving Bowling for Columbine, even though Canada and the United States are similar there are vast differences in their social policies such as healthcare, employment public assistance and criminal justice. Both countries have a large amount of people, diversity, violent movies, games, and music, yet the United States has thousands of shootings a year and Canada has very few. Bowling for Columbine looks at what is different and what is the same between the two countries and tries to find a correlation. One correlation could be the vast difference in their social policies.
Canada is an example of a nation with the question of a country wide unification among all its citizens on the table since the time of confederation in 1867 and even a few years prior. What some these factors that make Canada different from areas around it? How can a country that dominates such large land mass and that bares such vast cultural differences, be united? Can Canadians ever come to agreement upon the values they hold to be important? The debates of these questions continue to plague Canadian parliaments, especially when examining the differences between Canada and the province Quebec. Even though many argue and hope for Canada’s unity in the future, the differences in political socialization and culture present throughout the country creates a blurry vision of Canadian harmony and makes it extremely difficult to realistically vision Canadian unification. Is that, however, a bad thing?
New France and Canada, although are different in many ways, in speaking of political, religious, economic, and, social similarities and differences views, they are also quite similar as well. For example, both Canada and New France have somewhat equal rights for women, and we both have different positions of power in the political system. But Canada has a demographic government, while New France was run by a monarchy.
The first way in which Canada distinguishes itself following the American Revolutionary War was through traditional political values. “The two north American societies display clear differences rooted in their formative events”4. Having been formed out of violent revolution in opposition to British tyranny has made American views on personal liberty unyielding. Canada being founded on peaceful negotiation tends to take a more conservative approach when it comes to conflict resolution and peoples freedoms. Secularism or the separation of the church from state matters is abundantly clear in the British North American colonies, “...The colonies and territories that became Canada developed under greater state control, either as conquered colonies
Some similarities of America and Australia are they both have a constitution, an executive, legislative, and judicial branch, and they both declared independence from the same country, Great Britain.

Canada has become a superior nation thru, perseverance, courage and even care as they persevered thru many dark battles, and made sure they all came thru together as a unit other than individuals. Their courage made there fighting 100% stronger as they wouldn’t back down to any task and they weren’t afraid to lose their life to help a fellow friend and country out. Care played a major aspect in each Canadian heart. There cared about Britain so they weren’t to go help them when they declared war, they helped other troops with their emotional problems and lastly they even cared a little about there enemies as they are the same person, however the only thing separating them is there culture. Canadians contributed in many ways to help our country's great efforts in the First World War.
Canada has a central government designed to deal with the country as a whole. Things like national defense, banking, currency, and commerce are controlled by the central government. All other matters are left to the provinces to deal with. Such as education, hospitals, and civil rights are responsibilities of the states. The Canadian Parliament consists of two houses. Their Senate is made up of 104 members who serve until the age of seventy-five.

Canada has a long standing tradition of having a culturally diverse population, stating with the formation of New France in 1534 and continuing on with British North America in 1763. With the large area of the country and the small population these cultures where able to maintain their heritages while becoming one united country in 1867. While the United States prides itself on being a cultural melting pot, Canada prides itself on being a cultural mosaic. Instead of assimilating into the already formed communities that where in Canada, each new Culture that immigrated into the country migrated into a new spot and adapted with their own practices. This makes Canada one of the world leaders in Multicultural policies,
