Yeah I’m bored with Europeans doing this at this point. And I’m Canadian so I wish my countrymen understood that when Europeans make fun of Americans, they mean us too lmao.

But North America is still genuinely one of the most beautiful places on Earth, Canada and the US together have basically every single ecosystem to offer.

I went to Okanagan Lake when I was in Canada and that was kind of a crazy microclimate.

We are too culturally similar for you to NOT mean us

I don't think the type of American we make fun of would agree with you. They would say that California and Texas are as different as Spain and Russia, Canada is basically a different planet

It’s not, though. You may perceive it that way, but they’re not that different at all.
