Americans and Canadians share *some* similarities because the ancestors of many Anglophones were colonial Americans who migrated to Canada.
They were United Empire Loyalists who were on the opposing side of the American Revolution. Or as I like to call it, the First American Civil War—because that's what it actually was.
This is also why Canada is different from USA: we are people with fundamentally different values. That is, "Peace, Order, and good Government".
Any American who believes we are the same doesn't even have a clue about their own history.
