idk why but I feel like Canada is the European America. never visited but I just know the vibes are good and im already used to cold whether. for the same logic but with a tropical flavor is New Zealand idk I just get immaculate vibes
other people have said it too, but as a canadian this was wild. canada is great but it is becoming more and more ‘american’ in a bad way. it’s getting a little spooky here, everything from converting government hospitals to church-run (withdrawing healthcare for people who aren’t religious) and large trump-style protests and convoys in major cities
After coming back from 3 weeks in Vancouver Island/Victoria, I can safely say I want to move there. I live in Ontario and I wouldn’t recommend, except for maybe Montreal 🙈 but it depends on the vibes you like lol. New Zealand is on my bucket list too!
as a canadian i unfortunately would have to disagree, except for potentially montreal or some small towns in british columbia 🫣 but you should visit regardless !!!
american perspective: i think the coastal surfing vibes in some parts of the country remind me of cali, but the rural outback parts remind me more of the american south. the accent feels to me like someone took an English accent and "twang-ed" it, so that also reminds me of the american south. also my brain divides australian accents into the only reference points i have for them: the milder/subtler Mike's Mic/Troye Sivan accent, the "NAUUUR CLEO" H20: Just Add Water accent, & the really stereotypical, flattened vowels-sounding accent in nature documentaries that's like "HERE WE SEE THE WALLABY IN ITS NATURAL HABITAT." i wish i knew what the actual regional differences were with those accents/why they sound so different from each other, but the U.S. is divided into a bunch of regional accents too, so ig it's similar. also lots of ppl refer to Florida as the Australia of america, since FL has some crazy wildlife as well.
i've been seeing tiktoks of people asking their friends to pick them up from the airport/help moving and no one agrees. honestly what kind of a friend are you if you only care about doing fun stuff together and disappearing in the time of need. and honestly same goes for ignoring stuff in public like you see a woman carrying heavy bags and you just walk by? or when people don't offer their seats in transport for the elderly or sick? very strange to me. be kind to others personal boundaries are overrated
