The United States and Canada

The three similarities and differences I’m going to talk about are the government, who founded the countries, and if it has states or provinces. I am going to talk about some similarities too. Canada and the U.S are very similar, but very different, too. One of the biggest differences is that the U.S is a free country. Canada is not.

The first major difference I’m going to talk about is the governments’. The U.S has a representative democracy. Canada has a parliamentary democracy. That means that the United States has a president. Canada therefore has a Prime Minister. A Prime Minister and a president basically do the same thing…run the country.

The next difference is who founded the countries. Two completely different groups of people founded them. The Vikings found Canada, and the British found the United States. The United States is a very young country, but Canada is even younger. Canada is one of the youngest countries in the world.

The last difference I’m going to talk about is whether they have states or provinces. States and provinces are basically the same things but have different names. The United States obviously has states and Canada has provinces. Canada has 11 provinces and the United States has 50 states. Even though Canada is a bigger country, it has fewer provinces than the U.S has states. I think that is interesting.

Now I’m going to talk about similarities. Of course, both countries are in North America. Both countries have a melting pot society. Both countries have short, hot summers, and long cold winters. The two countries are next to each other. And both countries share some of the same physical features.

Those are the facts and differences that I chose to write about. I think most of them are interesting. I think both Canada and the United States are interesting countries. They are two of the most similar countries. They are also very different, too. They are two great countries.
