Well as a Canadian I guess I'm a little biased but I've also lived in America so I can say that I like both places equally. I'm not a political person, so I won't really get into that. As for the environment, I would say the stereotype that Canadians are always nice doesn't always hold up but we still have kind people in general. Both countries are very patriotic, believe it or not I think Canada is more patriotic than the US. I'm not a big city type, so naturally I like the more rural areas in Canada and America, they're similar in a lot of ways.
