Social Connection
Culture
The US and Canada both have many minorities groups, such as the Asian class of both countries. They both have a very high Caucasian percentage, while the US has 66% Caucasian and Canada 82.7%, they still remain to take up most of the population of the countries.
Settling
Along with alike ethnic groups, they also have similar people with similar backgrounds. Like in photo above, many loyalists, as well as New England Yankees populated the Nova Scotia Region, as well as the loyalists populating the New Brunswick and Quebec areas.
Protestant
A little more than half of the population affiliated with the religion in the US, and a little less then a forth in Canada.
Roman Catholic
Exactly like Protestant in both countries, except vice versa.
Jewish
4th largest religion in Canada and 3rd in US, but is next largest religion shared by both countries.
Political Connections
Politics
The US and Canadian are similar and different. They both have a constitution, yes, but the US has a democracy with a president, and Canada has a monarchy with a prime minster. Our national leaders have met for many years. Some of these meetings have been bad, some have come out very good, but always in the end, the US and Canada have a very strong trading relationship.
