Canada is the second largest country in the world but it’s very sparsely populated. Over 80% of locals live in cities and more than two-thirds are settled within about 60 miles (100 kilometers) of the southern border.

Although Canada shares many similarities with its southern neighbor—and, indeed, its popular culture and that of the United States are in many regards very similar—the differences between the two, both temperamental and material, are profound.
For example, according to the 20th-century literary criticNorthrop Frye, the central fact of Canadian history is the rejection of the American Revolution.Generally speaking, modern Canadians are inclined to favor orderly central government and a sense of community over individualism, and in international affairs, they are more likely to serve the role of a peacemaker instead of a warrior.Whether at home or abroad, they are likely to have a pluralistic way of viewing the world.

The French character in Quebec is also reflected in differences in religion, architecture, and schooling.Elsewhere in the country, French influence is less apparent, confined largely to the dual use of French and English for place names, product labels, and road signs.

The most disproportionately Canadian words on Twitter were things like “amazing,” “great,” and “favorite.” Of course, the word “agree” was on the Canadian side of things, too.The words way more likely to show up in American tweets — some of which had to be blurred out when presenting results of the study — included “damn,” “hate,” “a**,” and some racial slurs that shouldn’t be repeated.
