It's never implied that they are twins, but they are definatly brothers, despite the fact that their real life surnames also don't match, (Canada is Matthew Williams, and America is Alfred F. Jones).

Here's the Nations facts in a nut shell

Canada was discovered in 1492 by the europeans. However Vikings had settled along the eastern coast alot sooner, the exactly date unknown. Canada had become a colony of England and France. Canada claimed independance in 1867.

Can you drive for a Canadian trucking company with a us cdl?

No, you cannot. Canada is part of the ICC, and shares commercial driver information with the American FMCSA. If you try obtaining a US licence while possessing a Canadian one, or vice versa, they'll find out about it. By the way, "CDL" is a term exclusive to the US.. Canada uses a different system. Class 1 is the equivalent to a Class A CDL, Class 2 is equivalent to a Class B, and I believe Class 3 is for buses and such.

Was Canada part of great Britain in 1850?

No. It was still a British colony. Confederation was formalized in 1867, at which point Canada became the Dominion of Canada. While still a British possession, there was a move toward more independence, as the colonies were becoming very expensive to maintain for the British Crown.

We had certain obligations to Britain, for instance, we had to go to war if they declared it.

After World War I, Canada more or less gained complete independence from Britain, with one holdover, the British North America Act (in effect, the Canadian constitution), which remained a British act, and could only be modified by their parliament.

In 1982, the Constitution was formally repatriated to Canada, at which point we had total independence to conduct our own affairs.

Which Canadian place is an island?

This is a case of "an island in a lake on an island in a lake".

Several of the larger north Canada lakes have large islands that also have their own lakes. However, the most accessible is Manitoulin Island, Ontario, in Lake Huron. The resort island has three large lakes. A notable island is "Treasure Island" (Mindemoya) on Lake Mindemoya. The hilly island is about 1 km by 3 km.

It is unclear if Treasure Island has any lakes of its own with islands on them, but they would be quite small. This would constitute "an island in a lake, on an island in a lake, on an island in a lake".

What traditions do Canadians have?

They like to shrink heads of goats.

-----------------------

Some may well like to shrink the heads of goats. That is a tradition, we don't force our traditions on others and accept that there are many different traditions (within limits).

We have a tradition of letting others be. This is a large country, we have room, no need to force everyone to be just like us.

So each family will have their own traditions.

For example many celebrate the official holidays, like Thanksgiving in very traditional ways. Others mix it up, like celebrating Guy Fawkes day, or Diwali or $5 day.

What are the features of federalism in Canada?

Federalism is a system that calls for a strong central government. A federalist government has two tiers of power. The two tiers both rule the people, but in different ways. Fundamental changes to the Constitutions cannot be done with just one tier. Sources of revenue are strictly defined and courts have the power to interpret the Constitution. The federalist system safeguards the unity and diversity of the country.
