These are the differences between Canada and USA:

neighbour / neighbor
colour / color
cheques / checks
Girl Guides / Girl Scouts
Girl Guide cookies: Canada has 2 kinds- the gross Chocolate Mint Kind in November, and the "one row chocolate, one row vanilla kind" in April
Girl Scout cookies: apparently the American Girl Scout cookie..there is "multiple" kinds that you can buy? I've never eaten an American Girl Scout cookie. SOMEONE SEND ME SOME, LOL!!

Canadians go to university, Americans go to "college".
In Canada, you are in Grade 4, in USA you are in the 4th grade.

Canada: you can pay with USD$ and no one bats an eyelash
USA: Canadian money will be looked at with suspicion, as though it was monopoly money, due to it being of different colours. (some places close to "the line" on the US side might accept Canadian money, but those are few and far between).

"Thank you"
Canada - "You're welcome"
USA - "Uh huh" (as observed by me in Seattle)

And USA has way wider a range of repertoire of candy bars selection (chocolate bars in Canada)

And in Canada, we say "pop" and in the USA, depending where you live (i.e. region), it's "soda / pop / Coke" (see other old GC threads...this soft drink topic has been covered before, at least once).

Canada: runners
USA: sneakers

Retail in Canada is in, general, pretty crappy compared to the American cousins.
USA has Victoria's Secret shops, we have to deal with crappy a$$ La Senza and La Vie en Rose.
USA has "Bed, Bath and Beyond", we have crappy "Linens and Things".


If I think of anything else, I'll come back.
