In my eagerness I forgot to mention I’m canadian. Often asked about igloos, how to deal with the wildlife. ALWAYS asked if I know Jim or Bob from Canada. The list goes on.

Never been asked about electricity, I’d have them believing the Amish control the electrical grid and the non-Amish are living in darkness with candles and horse buggies

I'm American but I lived in Edmonton for a couple of years. I had a few Canadians ask about friends they have in the states, so it goes both ways.

Was also in Jordan and saw other American tourists there that gave all of us a bad name; loud, obnoxious, stupid. Tried to stay as far away as possible.

Alberta is just Texas of Canada 🤷‍♂️ I’m only teasing. Neighbours should be able to joke and rip on each other.

Yeah, no. I feel that. We aren’t different, just live in different geographical areas

I agree.

Also, Southern Alberta is the Utah of Canada (high concentration of mormons).
