What makes someone look “American” when in Canada?

[Anonymous]

Outside of the accent differences, but from a looks perspective. Do Americans truly dress differently than Canadians?

I was recently in Canada and wondered the same thing. My observations: If you have any visible logos, the ones worn by Americans are pretty different from the ones worn by Canadians. Think run of the mill things like Nike, North Face, maybe college gear. You don’t see as much “loud” looks in Canada - piercings, tattoos, colors. Americans are louder in volume too. No judgment, it’s just the truth. We also value personal space more. Canadians seem more like Europeans in that they seek more accustomed to sharing public spaces and thus stand closer to strangers.

Let’s be precise. The U.S. obesity rate is roughly 41–43%, while Canada sits around 30–32%. So yes, the U.S. is higher — but Canada is hardly some outlier of health virtue. Both countries rank among the highest in the developed world.

No one has asked for statistics. It's how it feels.

Feelings aren’t facts. Also, you clearly don’t spend a lot of time in Canada.

Canadians smile with closed lips, Americans smile with teeth. Canadians say thank you and sorry much more often than Americans. Canadians have a more natural look and Americans have a more botoxed filler look

It's too expensive in Canada.

Americans smile too much and are always eager to please, like dogs.
