Today, my girlfriend and I were talking about the difference between the U.S. and Canada when she asked me if they have their own government. She wasn't sure if they were governed by the U.S. or if they didn't have a government at all. She's a 33-year-old college graduate. FML

They don't have a government at all. It's up to the citizens to print their own colorful money and make up arbitrary laws on the spot. If two citizens have conflicting laws, they fight to the death, and depending on the victor's subjective laws, they then might have to imprison them self.

Our head of Government is decided via a naked wrestling match in maple syrup. The victor then uses a beaver pelt to remove the maple syrup, eats the ceremonial poutine and rides a moose to the parliamentary igloo to be sworn in.

Technically Canada wasn't even an independent country until the late 1980's

Canada was officially recognized as a separate nation in 1867.

Technically Canada was still not completely independent until 1982 when the Canada Act was signed, severing all political ties with england. Before that Canada had to get permission from England to alter its constitution, meaning it wasn't independent.

Under that logic we're still not an independent country because we still have political ties to the queen. How do we elect a new PM?

I believe when you said "that logic" you just meant logic. Because under any logic, if you have to ask permission from another country to change your constitution, you aren't independent.

Don't be mad at her, it probably isn't her fault. The American education system is so atrociously bad. I learned absolutely nothing and yet still was mostly a straight A student. I won't boast of my ignorance but lack of proper educating is a major problem here.
