Well, we are expecting someone to summarize a thesis into one two sentences here

can we move on?

We all define a country differently

My point is that a nation is a people not values or Canada a America would be the same country becasue they believe in basicly the same things.

Why do we have to make it fit aussies version?

Hate borrowing the post modernists dictionary here

no we wouldn't because like Jaden said, America was founded on rebellion, Canada was not

america had to fight for it's freedom, we asked for it

But its really subjective here. Who can we trust to make the objective definition of what defines a country

But what would stop them becoming the same country becasue they have a simlar hisotry, language and values.

when you enter a country

adopt a culture

adopt a language

you join a nation.

YOu ahve to look into alot of other factors that define the nation, its history, its culture, its people, its government

Language?

Because Quebeca is totally like English

Thing is then, how aboutthe states then?

Are they different?

By civics Canada and America are basicly the same.

No we're not.

Not cuturally

Not by a long shot.

you don't know the meaning of civics do you lol

Wait, why arguing this

We were at race != species earlier

Fuck man,

well if you really want to argue this, go into VC

How are you different? You speak the same langue have a simlar history and the other civics.

Well, if you're speaking relatively when comparing to, say, the middle east, then Canada and the US are more similar to each other than to them.

@GingaBomber You're right, this was about race, I think I might have derailed it, sorry

Umm actually no, we don't have a similar history

You really stuck to your guns and I can respect that, but we wont get anywhere since the topic is changing so goddamn quickly

Canada and America have VERY different histories

The difference is that Candans are a different people to Americans. civics mean almost nothing.

and don't give me the 'magic dirt' shit, you're the one that thinks land is specifically racial.
