it really is sad how little americans know about canada :roll:

 

 

sorry if anyone takes offense to that, but i really do find it sad. never mind i just stuck my foot in my mouth.

i agree....i should no more....but i dont cuz im stupid...yea

welcome to the boards molly

youre not stupid, just un-informed. dont blame yourself, blame the education system! if you ever want to know anything about canada feel free to ask, dear. oh, and thank you for the welcome to the board.

I live in the U.S and although our county budget has always been a joke we get taught a lot about Geography and things of that sort. Like Canada, in 6th grade we spent a lot of time studying the country, we even went on a field trip to Toronto, it was nice seeing the rainbow in the morning that was over the Niagra Falls.... :) But Molly I see what you mean. Our government rather spend money on something that supports death rather than education...sad. :cry:

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo so toronto is a province

 

LOL

 

i'm sorry that made me laugh.

 

i dont uderstand the american or canadian way of living lol so is a state like a small country with a samll government or what

oooooooo ok.....and the counties have cities....or do they call them towns over there

 

In the UK cities and towns are different... if the place has got a cathedral then its a city, if not its a town :)

All hace a major town/city... normally a city. eg Lancashire is Lancaster, Yorkshire is York, bit of a pattern? Doesn't always follow. eg suffolk is Ipswitch. :)

 

A city has by tradition a cathedral. So cities are Cathedral Towns. A city is a honorific title conferred by the monarchy... the last one was Salford.

 

Sound like a teacher!!! aaaarrgghh

You can't be a teacher cos you can't spell Ipswich! :P

That's really impressive, most Americans aren't taught about Canada so in depth.

It's just a way of dividing up the country. For American a State is a region and within a State there are many Cities.

For Canada he regions are called Provinces, essentially it's the same as a State, and in the Provinces there are cities.

yes, i live across the river from detroit in windsor. its only a 30 min drive so i manage to cross the great divide into america every once and a while. ;)
