an example of idiotic reasoning -- correlation v causation?
Unless your full quote spends a whole lot more time talking about how Canadians are identical to those in the United States (and I'd imagine many Canadians would take exception to such an idea) then the poster is full of it.
"England and Scotland arae two different countries" for the purpose above it would be like comparing Maryland and Virginia. Same health care system, same school philosophies, similar culture, and a whole lot of cross border movement.
I interpreted it as being largely tongue-in-cheek, and used it here in that spirit -- someone else farther down in the comment thread I plucked it from tossed in some more meaningful/relevant differences, and even there the analysis remained shallow.
"many Canadians would take exception to such an idea"
I've got a quote about that, that I've been saving up until I have the nerve to face the wrath of my Canadian friends for posting it ... ;-)
