As a dual Belgian-French citizen living in an English-speaking EU country that was once a possession of the Crown (and is still part of the Commonwealth), I can’t help but agree.
The ties between the UK and its (former or not) empire are still strong and somehow tying it to the EU would benefit both parties.
It would be interesting to do a poll in the UK now about rejoining, even the Brexiters may have changed their minds, they were sold freedom and got mostly misery.
Yeah, Canada’s day-to-day culture is very American. The same TV shows are popular, the same sports, same celebrities, etc. But, the legal and political setup is still very British. And, it’s times like this that we really appreciate how different that part still is from the US.
I wouldn’t say that. Yes, we consume American media but Canadians are more socially aware of their surroundings. Americans are very selfish. Crabs in a bucket mentality. Canadians, in general, consider the social body as a whole.
I’ve lived in both the US and Canada for extended amounts of time. Canadians are just better people.
I’ve lived in the US and Canada for extended amounts of time, but I’ve also lived in Europe and Australia. From the point of view of someone living outside North America, there’s very little difference between Americans and Canadians culturally.
It all depends on your perspective. If you’ve never left LA you might say there are massive cultural differences between people in Lakewood and Lawndale. And, I’m sure there are some differences. But, an outsider might have a different opinion.

Not part of the Commonwealth since 1949.
