[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ETA: Albion's Seed is a fascinating read.[/quote] Came here to say this. Fascinating read. Different classes of Brits from different regions with different traditions settled different parts of the colonies and influenced their respective cultures. I’ve always thought Canada would be closer than the U.S. today. My husband used to work for a British company. Can confirm that those guys loved Las Vegas and Florida. They went crazy in Vegas.[/quote] Canada does have more British influence even though it's closer culturally to the US than Canada. Victoria BC feels more like England than anywhere in NA (and it's not just a show for the tourists, lots of British-born people on Vancouver Island). Newfoundland also retained close ties to England until it joined Confederation in 1949. In fact the provincial flag was the Union Jack until 1949. And they celebrate Guy Fawkes Day in Newfoundland.
