If you're looking for something to read while you waste time on the internet, here are a few suggestions:
1) John & I used to regularly find things that are different between the U.S. and Canada. Now that we've been living in Canada for 5 years, though, the differences don't really become apparent until we go back to the States. It's kind of weird.
But a friend recently shared the blog What's Different in Canada with us. It has some great little factoids, some that we hadn't come across before.
2) The number one thing that Americans ask us about living in Canada is health care. Of course. Here's an interesting article on the myths surrounding Canadian health care.
3) The hardest part of living in British Columbia was regularly hearing negative comments about the States and Americans. Sometimes I just yearned for someone to say something nice about my country. A friend posted this on Facebook today, and I enjoyed reading why the U.S. isn't completely bad.

Interesting links-the one comparing the US and Canadian healthcare systems especially! Nice to read the positives about the US-often your hear "Americans are friendly" but not much more.

Saw his today and it is more general but has a section comparing the US and Canada:

Thanks for sharing Hanna! They say the U.S. and Canada are the most similar countries in the world, but they're still obviously different!
