Sorry but you are very wrong. Canadians and Americans are very differnet.
Example:
The culture is very different ... in many ways. Having the same music and clothes dosen't mean squat. Read this book Fire and Ice: The United States, Canada and the Myth of Converging Values
Some other examples from the book: (yes it has the head of the house thing in it)

Robert Fulford, Bob, Bobby, can I call you Bobby? You must not have read this book. any Canadian who is beset with views of intolerance of Americans, should read this book. They can then say "no I am not Anti-American. On Mass I am more tolerant. It is just that our views are much different then yours (and growing more different!). I am sorry that you feel discriminated for judgments of your Nations policies, aforementioned Dubya, but I speak out against such policies. and some people, like our friend Bobby, confuse the attack against the policy with an attack against the people."
If we are universally tolerant, Americans are the exception to the rule. I could bring up examples why we got this way, http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/Comedian+Edmonton+cancelled+over+joke+about+military/1419573/story.html, but you would ignore it or say that does not represent America.

I learned about it from the data presented and studies cited in this book https://www.amazon.com/Fire-Ice-United-States-Converging/dp/0143014234
I suggest you (and anyone else interested) have a gander at the book "Fire and Ice: The United States, Canada and the Myth of Converging Values". It's a fascinating portrait of social trends in both countries and how we differ.
You are completely right to ask. I will try to dig some up later when I have a chance. In the mean time, a good book focused on comparative values studies between Canada and the US is Fire and Ice: The United States, Canada and the Myth of Converging Values.
