Most countries know more about the US than Americans know about them - Americans are remarkably ignorant when it comes to other cultures and world history. Our educational system lags behind most of the other countries for some reason.

How was the US and Canada border achieved?

Canada was founded by Americans actually that were sympathetic to England, who didn't want independence. To this day, "being Canadian" essentially means to be an American in denial of his true culture. That is why Canadians still have trouble identifying what it means to be Canadian. Very silly, of course, and sad to those of us born here in Canada who know and accept that we are essentially Americans but without any of the benefits of U.S. citizenship. The border should be erased, however Canadians are too silly and proud to ever allow such a liberating thing to happen.

How have immigrants influenced Canadian culture?

There is no such thing as a "Canadian" culture anymore than there is a single Global Culture. Canada is a Confederation of many Nations, each with many peoples and cultures. Some of those cultures date back thousands of years, some hundreds and most just a few decades. Most Canadians have very shallow family roots in Canada with 38% not being born in Canada or having at least one parent not born in Canada. With that in mind "Immigrants" are Canadian culture, just as they are Global Culture. BTW in Canada "Immigrants" are considered First Generation and their children Second Generation. This is different than most countries because once a person becomes Canadian they get all the rights and benefits, sometimes even more, than those whose families have been in Canada for hundreds of years. Also those whose families have been here for hundreds of years do not force their culture on others, not even their children. Multi-Generational Canadians have a very live and let live culture and think it is wrong to force others to change their culture. Of course this is not the case for all Multi-Generational Canadian cultures as there are some who have made laws that force their language and culture on new comers. Aside from that minority most Canadians respect other cultures and do not force their culture, or even share their culture as much as others. It is the main quality of Canadians that people like. People who come to Canada have, generally speaking, kept their culture.
