Josie, the States are affectionately referred to as "Canada's Southern Provinces". Aside from the language barrier, they are the perfect neighbors, eh?

They don't talk much football or baseball. They prefer pummeling a wee black snuff box along the ice with a doglegged stick. They have great beer but, caution, it's 6+% alcohol.

Their Summer is 3 days in mid-August.

It might be a good idea to brush up on your Canada-speak before visiting. They use British English spelling which you may be accustomed to more-so in SA.

When crossing the US/Canada border (either direction) don't have any contraband or suspicious odors that could alert the drug-sniffing dogs. They will make your visit extremely memorable.
