What are similarities and differences between Canada and the United States?
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. Citizens of the United States sometimes see Canada as a colder version of their home society, a perception sustained by the enormous impact the United States has had on everyday social, economic, and political life in Canada. Dominant-minority situations in the two societies share similarities, both historically and at present. But the two societies are quite different. For example, although Black Africans were enslaved in colonial Canada, the institution never took on the economic, political, or social significance it assumed in the United States. Perhaps the most obvious difference between the two nations is that, for much of its history, the most significant minority-group issue in Canada has been cultural and linguistic, not racial.
