 * __ The United States and Canada __**

The United States and Canada are two North American countries. They’re both part of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement). They’re allies, once having the lengthiest undefended border in the world, reaching past 5000 miles. They are, like most things, both very similar and very differebt. They have different traditions, spanning largely from the different natives the two nations had prior to European exploration. Their laws are also different.

One such difference is how the countries are separated. The United States has states, while Canada has both provinces and territories. The United States and Canada are both former English colonies. The United States became an individual country, while Canada became a dominion of England. This means that they are ruled by England.

The United States’ figurehead leader and commander-in-chief is a president. Unlike the United States, Canada has two leaders; one handles ceremonies, and one handles everything else. Respectively, the two leaders are the governer general, whom represents the English monarchs in ceremonies, and the Prime Minister who holds much the same role as the United States president. As I mentioned, both had native humans prior to foreign exploration. The United States had what are known as Native Americans, while Canada had the Inuit.

Originally, both nations’ natives had their rights largely stripped from them and were forced to be slaves. This ended in the 1800s for the United States, and some time after for Canada. As time passed, their rights were largely returned to them; reserves were built for the Native Americans in the United States, and the Inuit were given Nunavut, a former portion of the Northwest Territories. Since creation, both countries have largely used the languages spoken in the major colonies upon their shores. For the United States, this is English, while Canada spoke both English and French. Their governments are much alike also, with canada having a Parliamentary democracy, and the United States having a representative democracy. They do much of the same things.

Both countries could be compared and contrasted for hours, but the point still stands that they’re both very alike, and very different also. The three North American countries are all longstanding allies, and they all engage in NAFTA. They’re very different, down to their climates. Both are large countries, ranking in the top 5 size-wise. Both trade very different and essential things to one another. It’s a prosperous allignment, and very worth it.
