What does average have to do with it? This person tried to claim BC was identical to Washington state when it just isn’t.
Why do you desire so much to deny any of Canada’s uniqueness. We aren’t just “more America”. There’s a lot of differences at play.
As for average city?
The Toronto region the Golden Horseshoe has 9 million people, greater Vancouver-power mainland has 3 million, Calgary 1.5 million, Edmonton 1.4 million.
All 4 of those cities are very ethnically diverse and quite different from their American counterparts.
Like I’ve seen people try and claim Toronto is a Canadian Chicago which is absurd. The 2 cities are completely different in terms of politics, demographics, food cultures, built form, and histories.
The only thing they have in common is being a large city on the Great Lakes.
Don’t sell Canada short. I used to do that, I’ve learned better now that I have more experience.
