Everyone cheering for Canada to become the 51st US state should know that the single uniting piece of Canadian culture is “not American”.

It might sound tongue-in-cheek but it’s deeply entwined in our history.  It’s hilarious/sad that Canadians are like this but it’s one of the only things we all agree on.

I’d bet most Canadians would take a lower standard of living than capitulate to becoming American (with the possible exception of Albertans).

Canadian identity is rooted in being not American - becoming a US state would erase that crucial distinction
