1. They like to share and cooperate, and we don't
and thus, the huge gap in social difference.

2. Yep.
I moved to the States when I was fifteen and have never become acclimated. The people are entirely different, something my American father has never noticed, not surprisingly.

3. If you don't step out of it to look from the outside
then you only know what is your experience, unfortunately.

4. not really a comparison of Canada and US
this is more of a discussion of the evils of suburbs and materialism and the loss of a sense of community. An interesting discussion, just not really about what the headline says. There's only one brief comment about Toronto's use of space and Canadian's surprise at US property values in the entire 10 min. clip. If you're looking for a comparison of Canadian and US culture, this ain't it.

5. I agree
I am American born and Canadian by choice....

I really didn't see them discussing the differences between Canada and the USA.

There are plenty of differences. Canadians are happy with their country.

6. Perhaps a better headline would have been
talks about the result of the cultural differences.
