Tracking mud into someone's house. The most striking cultural difference is literally just taking your shoes off as a guest.
Alligators, tropical diseases, hurricanes for the most part.
Flag-worship. Which is ironic because tomorrow is Canada Day, but really the US is on a whole other level.
Government deadlock.
Pennies.
