Canadians come in

Well, schools are basically the same. I know there are some minor differences in terminology between Canada and the United States in terms of schools. For example, in the States, "university" and "college" are practically synonymous, whereas here, "university" is meant for academic degrees and "college" is short for "community college", which is more for trades, applied sciences, and such. With schools, generally I think the rules are a lot more lenient here. We have less schools with strict dress code policies (in fact, it's really only the private schools with strict dress codes). The majority of schools don't require you to shower after gym class anymore for the sake of those kids with privacy and self-image issues, I'm not sure if the United States is moving/has moved in the same direction. We also don't have "proms" in Canada -- which is like a tradition in the United States, but we never do them here.

Food is basically the same. I mean, I can walk a couple blocks from my house in both directions and get to a McDonalds. The only real food difference I can think of off the top of my head is that maple syrup is a heck of a lot cheaper here than in most places in the rest of the world.

The music scene is generally dominated by that of the rest of the world. However, we thankfully have laws stating that media companies have to broadcast a certain amount of Canadian content to their audiences.

Health Care here is a broken system, it could use some fixing, but its working for right now. Line-ups and wait-times are most of the issue, but at least everyone gets health care. We don't have hospital bills here. I mean, you pay for certain procedures that aren't covered by Medicare like dental and such, but you don't have to pay cash out of pocket for breaking your leg. Yeah, it comes from the tax dollars, but you're paying taxes anyway for things like roads, city upkeep, etc. It's really not as bad as Republicans in America tend to make it out to be.

Hmmm. I've never actually eaten poutine. My friends eat it a lot though, apparently its amazing.

I must try it now.

Are any of you from Montreal or have you been there before? What's it like?

You should go to Montreal and tell me what it's like there so I can visit next

In a lot of aspects, we're very similar. I suppose geography is one of the main differences. While you can drive for minutes to get from one town to the next in places like England, it takes hours and sometimes days to get from city to city in Canada.

guuuuuh....i can haz plox

^ That basically sums it up, eh.

We also have pet beavers, and I ride a polar bear to school in the winter, and a moose in the spring/summer.
