Globalized not Americanized.

Considering all of the Canadians in Hollywood and on the music charts in America how exactly do you define Americanized anyway? Don’t you have a ton of European/Asian originated things in your local culture too like we do down here in America? I love IKEA and drive there in my Japanese car. I cut my fingernails every week with a great set of German tools (Wusthof or something). Tonight we’re going to watch Train to Busan peninsula on Amazon (Korean movie) because I love zombie flicks and heard good things (the first one was good!).




No, I mean Americanized. If you dropped someone in Vancouver who had never been, they'd have a hard time figuring out they were in Canada vs the US until they saw a Tim Hortons, because they would be hearing American made music and seeing American made TV while seeing a bunch of American brand stores.
