    I live in Ottawa and I remember a tourist from B.C. having an existential crisis when walking around Ottawa and realizing that, yes, Canada is a fully bilingual country. Ottawa is bilingual, the federal gov't is bilingual, and Quebec is right across the river. I'm sure to him French seemed totally unnecessary his whole life, so watching him realize it was not just a class he failed in high school was pretty funny.

    Just a note, from an American who lived in Canada for several years: I find it helpful to remember that the maple leaf on the flag has thirteen corners (eleven points and two corners on the stem), which aligns with the ten provinces + three territories. The current leaf dates back to the 1960s, long before Nunavut was its own territory, so this was obviously not an intended symbolism; it's just a happy coincidence.

    That’s generally true but to a large extent that has to do with Canadians having nearly as much exposure to American mass media as Americans do and the fact that most of our population lives within a few hours drive of the border. It’s hard not to know something about the US when you get as bombarded by American media as we do. We also share a broader North American base culture and honestly, even French Canadians like myself have more in common with Americans than even Brits do. Quebec is next door to New England after all and the rural areas near the border look pretty similar aside from the language thing. All that being said, it isn’t uncommon for Canadians to rely a bit too much on stereotypes regarding the US, especially the regions further from where we live.

    Geography is most definitely taught. In the US you seem to have 2 different types of people after schooling is finished. Those who remember what they were taught, and those who never paid attention then blame the system. Seems Andrew may be the latter. Although the problem really lies on the teachers. Relying on a printed booklet for students to read rather than teaching themselves. Then they pass students who shouldn't be passed. The information is there. It's taught. But it's up to you as the student to engage with it.

    The Canadian equivalent of president (head of state) is the monarchy, currently Queen Elizabeth II. Prime Minister is only head of government. The US is the exception to the rule that presidents hold only 1 office: that of head of state. The majority of republics have a separation between head of state & head of government, just like with all constitutional monarchies because it avoids having 1 person with too much power, as was the case in Germany in the 1930s & 40s, & with France in the early 1800s. In the US, with lacking the division of power at the top, runs into undemocratic issues; namely, with how many vetos some US presidents use & often abuse: something simply a non-issue with constitutional monarchies & with democratic republics with a division of power. This issue with the US executive authority is one of the main reasons the US often ranks low in democratic development compared to other westernized democracies, & ranks high in government abuse of power, with minimal accountability.

    Actually, the correct answer to the second question would be: Canada has no president because it's a monarchy. And the monarch is Elizabeth II, represented by a General Governor. The Prime Minister, however, isn't the head of state, only the head of government. And since Canada has a parliamentary system rather than a presidential, the Prime Minister is more important than the head of state.

    There's no king because the Canadian head of state is Queen Elizabeth II. Canada is technically a monarchy that shares the head of state with a number of former British colonies. The Queen's representative in Canada is the Governor-General, and there are a handful of hereditary peers who are Canadian citizens, but, like the monarch, it's purely ceremonial without any actual power. Like, at all.

In my travels to Canada there are some places like Toronto or Vancouver where Americans would fit in easily. But if you are visiting Montreal it really helps if you know French from what I've seen. So it's good to know where people are from in Canada. I didn't know that you had to be bilingual to work for the government, but it makes sense. I actually thought that there were more than 38 million people in Canada because it is so big. it's unusual that Canada is only recently independent from GB, but still part of the British commonwealth. I knew how the Canadian flag looked, but I would also struggle drawing a good looking maple leaf.
