honestly, they are very much the same - people project differences between the US and Canada based on very small things. go to Google Maps and plug in any town/city in the US and do a street view then do the same for any town/city in Canada - small towns/cities/suburbs look pretty much identical. only an American or Canadian flag somewhere will tell you that you're in one country or the other. major cities differ but that the same as right inside the US, Toronto is closer to New York City than Miami, Dallas or LA are.

both countries are big geographically and things cultural(foods, accents, fashion, leisure, culture/arts etc) differ from region to region. Vancouver is a lot more similar to Seattle than it is to Toronto. the vast majority of Canadians live in big urban centers close to a major American city.

Americans are much friendlier and outgoing. I think any Canadian will tell you there is a big difference when you cross the border that way and it gets more pronounced as you travel further south - southern hospitality isn't a myth.
