I mean the other 2 countries, Canada and Mexico, how similar are both of them to United States?? Both countries have a similar economy and democracy etc, and I think those two countries share things like supermarkets, stores, etc. I suppose the cultural differences are not a lot, that is very nice.

Canada is basicly Portland Oregan, execept Alberta which is Texas lite, and Quebec which is New Orleans but worse somehow.

Depends on where you are. Canada is like Portland in Vancouver. Really Canada is pretty similar to whatever region is across the border. The West coast is very Oregon, California like. The prairies are very mid west Montana. Winnipeg and Ontario are Minnesota and Michigan except the Toronto area which is a cross of New York City and Chicago. The Maritimes are Maine and New Hampshire. Quebec is a little harder to pin down.

The Wheelchair Assassins

I had to google that.

Damn:

Assassins Fateuils Rolents (“Wheelchair Assassins” in English). The most violent and feared anti-O.N.A.N. terrorist organization, comprised of Quebecois miners' sons who lost their legs through playing a game called La Culte du Prochain Train (“The Cult of the Next Train”).

For the record, I don't know what half of that quoted text even means and I'm afraid to go down that rabbit hole. I hope my imagination is worse than reality.

Coahuila is Albuquerque lite??

Are you telling me everywhere in Canada aside from Alberta and Quebec have amazing food? Because that's what I associate with Portland. Also what might be the world's greatest bookstore.
