Finds Americans
'Not The Same7
The common belief that Cana
dians and Americans are '‘just
the same” was exploded by a
Canadian editor lately on return
ing from a 12,000 mile bus tour
that took him through twenty-
five of the United States.
John Clare, managing editor
of Maclean’s Magazine, spent
five weeks talking to Americans
to "re-examine the belief that
we are just like them”.
His conclusions, which appear
in the September 1 issue of Mac
lean’s are blunt: "Americans are
different. They are different
from each othex* and they are
different from the Americans of
ten, and even five years ago.
They diffei* from each other in
the same startling and dramatic
terms as a Mongolian shepherd
differs from a fisherman on the
bank of the Spine. In the same
measure they djffer from us.”
In a 5000 word report, Clare
charts some of the ways in
which Americans differ from
Canadians—which range all the
way from their pronounciation
of the word "hero"- (liee-ro) to
the use of "vacation” instead of
"holiday”. But he found more
subtle and more fundamental
differences as well. These in
cluded a strong aggresive patrio
tism, and a lively interest in
tlieii’ own history.
Most Americans told him they
felt the American-Canadian bor
der shouldn’t be there and that
Canadians and Americans "are
all the same people”, but many,
he reports, were full of miscon
ceptions about Canada. All that
he talked to thought this country
had its own television and its
own draft for military service.
Only a few knew Canada had
troops in Korea. Only one man
knew the name of the Prime
Minister, and he couldn’t spell
it.
"Nearly everyone had an ex
aggerated idea of our winters”
writes Clare. “Several people I
talked to were surprised I didn’t
have an English accent”.
Some Americans Clare talked
to still thought Canada took or
ders from the King of England
and one man referred to a
foreign policy speech by Lester
B. Pearson as a "Whiteball
speech”,
Clare writes that he found
"USA: 1951” a troubled nation,
its citizens unsure of their future
but very much aware of their
new responsibilities as world
leaders.
"What do they think of us in
Canada?” one woman in Nash
ville, Tennessee asked him anx
iously.
And an archaeologist in Phoe
nix, Arizona warned him: “.Guard
youi’ natural resources . . . When
we become a have-not nation
you will have to help feed us.”
Almost everybody, Clare adds,
were surprised to be interviewed
by a Canadian reporter.
