Forgetting about the war side of things, the culture would be much different:
- Music would suck, yeah of course many of the greats are British/Canadian such as Beatles, Stones, Queen, Rush, Tragically Hip, etc. but let's be honest most good music is American.
- Movies would suck, name me one good [mainstream] movie that hollywood had nothing to do with. Bollywood sucks and Canada/Britain don't really make movies that I'm aware of.
- Cars might not be the way they are. Go ahead and say American cars suck these days, but America was unbeatable from like the early 1900s (the Model T) until like the 1970's or even 80's.
- TV would be boring as shit. Canada has made some good shows like Kenny Vs Spenny, Corner Gas, Red Green Show, etc. but really 99% of what Canadians are watching is American content.
- There would be no American football, no baseball, basketball was invented in Canada but probably wouldn't have caught on w/o America. Basically the only good sports would be Hockey, Rugby, Golf and Tennis because soccer SUCKS.
- Video games would suck. America makes some of the best video games there is. Plus there would be no Xbox. We would be stuck playing Final Fantasy and Mario instead of having great games like Fallout, Halo, Call of Duty, Gears, Skyrim, etc. I'll take this opportunity to brag that Mass Effect is made in Canada though!
- Canadians would have nowhere to go in the winter. We all go to Florida or California when its cold, and all our old people move to Florida when they hit 65. Without America we'll be stuck here freezing our asses off all year. |
Your'e Canadian and you don't even know that you make movies? The rest of your post is just one long love letter to all things american.

UMADBRO? And I know movies are MADE IN Canada, but they're still made by American companies.
How is anything I said a "love letter" when its true?
Fact: Ford revolutionized the car making industry, without them the auto industry would be years behind where it is now
Fact: America makes the best TV shows, and I don't mean shit reality shows...the good shows like Dexter, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, anything on HBO...all American
Fact: While like I said, many great bands are British, Canadian and Australian (forgot to mention Australia earlier), a good percentage of the good music is American.
Fact: Soccer is 90 minutes of boring, slow paced play and American Football is way better. Baseball and basketball suck, I'm not defending them.
Fact: A large percentage of the good video games are made in America. Of course Japan, Europe and Canada make some great content but let's watch the quality of games made go down to the shitter if America disappeared tomorrow.
Fact: My last thing about Florida was a joke

soccer is the most popular sport on this planet. nice that you only like amercian sports but that makes it not more truthfully...and we have rugby not that this isn't as good as football...

Haha I just love to troll soccer because there are a lot of Europeans on this site and it bothers them. Honestly though I don't understand why its popular, I can see why in 3rd world countries because all you need to play it is a ball and 2 posts to make a goal, but I don't get why it's popular in Europe. I do love rugby though, I don't know who invented it but its a great sport, played it my last year in high school. Once you understand how it works its a lot of fun to play and to watch.
Oh and you said I only like American sports...not even close! Hockey is my favourite (Canada) and the rest of the sports I like are European (golf, tennis, rugby) with the exception of American football.
And I know Movie/TV taste is subjective but its hard to deny America puts out the best (and some of the worst) content in these areas. I will give Britain the nod when it comes to music though, pretty amazing shit came from there. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen, Beatles, Stones, half of Fleetwood Mac, The Who, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Cream, etc. Definitely equal to America in that respect.
