Another big difference is that America is often referred as a the "melting pot" and while Canada, as a "mosaic" if you look on the cultural identity of the commoner. [This is understood.]

In the United States, all [don't use all since not everyone does] individual identities get smashed [this infers coercion] meshed together and a pulp comes out in which where everyone lost its his identity. [or you can say, "... all lost their identity", this way you can avoid the pesky his/her combination]

Canada is referred as a mosaic or a jigsaw puzzle because they have allot of her people with come from different origins, with different cultures and speak different languages.  , … who all They fit together but stay retain their individual identities. [May not be that great.  Take a look at the Hapsburg Empire.  It will be great if they all share a common identity too.  America should be better known as a salad bowl instead of a melting pot. It is in the old days because of discrimination that one has to melt into the society since most immigrants have the same skin color.  Nowadays, it is better to share common ideals.  No matter how well you try to melt into the pot, your skin color will always differentiate you from the white majority.]

Summary: Interview with Tania Huntsman

I heard a listening listened to a comprehension exercise of an interview with Tania Huntsman who tells about of the Canadian sense of cultural identity and the differences between her country and the US. America (the United States) and Canada.

Tania Huntsman is a Canadian living in Britain. She tells the interviewer that when she was backpacking threwthrough in Europe she used to get upset when she was mistaken for an American.
Tania is a proud Canadian and tells the interviewer the differences between them Canadians and Americans. A typical American, in her eyes, is loud, aggressive, seems dumb and doesn’t really know much about the rest of the world. Canadians are the opposite -  oppositional are well-informed and have an understanding of the world.

Nowadays, it doesn’t brothers her any more if when people think she is American.

Tania says that Canada is a commonwealth of Great Britain and so the English heritage remainspart of Canada still and somehow feels connected with GB the mother country.  and their values as For example,  the Queen is still the Constitutional Head of the country. However, the French section of Canada like of Quebec [That's the only "French" section]does n’t not follow this tradition and in fact wants to separate from Great Britain. have or like this connection and wants to be separated from GB.

All in all, Tania says explains that Canada is a great country with great diversity in her population. lots of different great people. Canadians are proud of what they are of their country and their heritage. especially where they come from.
