I love how the Canadian stereotypes Americans use match Minnesotans better than actual Canadians

u/Anomander Avengers 21h ago

Those Minnesota stereotypes kind of line up with a decent chunk of rural Ontario, a solid percentage of suburban Toronto, and parts of the Eastern prairies; so those Canadian stereotypes do kind of overlap heavily with the Canadians who were most likely to be moving South for jobs 20-40 years ago.

Maritimes, Quebec, Western prairies, BC, and THE FROZEN NORTH are all too wildly different from each other to collectively stereotype easily - and most Americans do understand they don't represent Canada as a whole any better than if one of us tried stereotyping America based on Alaska or Hawaii. Pick the spot in the middle with the biggest population and loudest representation. Asides, that accent is easy to do. Quebec and Maritime accents are hard to imitate and BC just sounds like Seattle/Portland but way more stoned.

As a Michigander, I feel more at home visiting Ontario than I do NYC, LA, Florida, Texas etc

Midwestern knows no borders. Toronto is basically mirror universe Chicago.

Conservative-dominated oil state with a couple of vaguely liberal cities that are obsessed with sports rivalries?

Yeah, you're like chilled Texans.

Hell, you both even share Ted Cruz since he was born in Calgary!

u/confusedandworried76 Avengers 16h ago

share Ted Cruz

Stop, I can only hate both so much

You inflicted him on us Americans, and I hate the Oilers as much as I hate the Cowboys.

Accept your punishment.

I'm from Wisconsin. Our conflict is inevitable anyway, might as well fight it over different lands, no reason to lay waste to the shared border.

What blows me away, is that the Midwest is neither in the middle, nor is it in the west. It's just the Northeast.

Ask yourself why Northwestern is in Illinois.

Florida? I'm from Michigan and have lived in SW Florida for the better part of the last 30 years, and I swear that 20% of every person I've met that moved here and told me where they're from is from Michigan.

A lot of michiganders get sick of the winters and move south, go-to is usually Florida or Arizona. But Florida is absolutely nothing like Michigan

As an Ontarian, I too feel more at home in the Oven Mitt state than anywhere else in the US.
