Here are 10 things Canadians do better than Americans
The US often overshadows its peaceful polite neighbors to the north but that certainly isnt because Canada is lacking in spotlight-worthy attributes
Here are 10 things Canadians do better than Americans
Number 10 Avoid getting robbed Only 86 in 100 thousand Canadians are reported victims of the crime In the US that number is 114
Number 9 Apologize A poll from Queens University found that 90 percent of Canadas youth say theyre sorry when somebody bumps into them Even a short trip taken on US urban mass transit reveals that Americas younger adults handle those types of situations differently
Number 8 Socialize from space No astronaut can match the social media appeal of Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield With his easy to follow fun video snippets from the International Space Station he captured the worlds attention He has over a million Twitter followers Buzz Aldrin has just over 800 thousand
Number 7 Accept the theory of evolution Rational minds certainly prevail in Canada where over 60 percent believe Darwin was legit Only about 30 percent of US residents feel the same way
Number 6 Live longer Three years longer on average Life expectancy is 81 in Canada and just over 78 in the US The gap has grown in Canadas favor every decade for the last few
Number 5 Maintain their middle class The two countries have similar income figures among the demographic but thats because Canadas increased while the United States experienced a sharp decline
Number 4 Balancing work and life Neither country is earning a gold medal in this category but Canadians definitely do a better job of knowing when to declare a workday done Only 4 percent of workers there put in over 50 hours a week compared to over 11 percent that do so in the US
Number 3 Gravy Fries In Canada they call the dish poutine and its made of fries cheese curds and brown gravy Many American chefs have tried their hand at reinventing the hangover go-to but dont quite capture the essence
Number 2 Ski Resorts Conditions and options are superior on the northern side of the border A comparison between both countries top resort towns Whistler and Vail shows the former as having a greater number of trails longer runs and a lot more snow
Number 1 Niagara Falls The Canadian side has long been heralded as the superior of the two viewing options as it offers a panoramic vista of all 3 falls Bridal Veil Horseshoe and American Its often more crowded but theres a pretty good reason why
