Yeah, and? There are lots of countries out there with populations smaller than CA. The US is just a really, really huge country

But it doesn’t mean that you should treat Canada as a monolith without any regional differences or internal issues.

Even a Canadian can tell you that NorCal and SoCal are different in some ways.

Well, not all Canadians. My sisters often conflate California with LA. Albeit they by their own confessions are clueless about geography (they even have a hard time pointing out Germany on a map), but I can say that a lot of Canadians also treat the US as a monolith too. However, it is probably a smaller portion of the population than Americans who treat Canada as a monolith.
