this is an odd stat
only 10 percent of Canadians even know ketchup chips are exclusively sold in Canada

i dunno, not surprising to me... when i travel, i generally do not acquaint myself with the full selection of local factory-produced snack foods and then do a point-by-point comparison with everything i consider "normal" at home.  i can describe to you what snacks are found in my local grocery, but no idea what local kids nosh on in the yucatan (last international trip i took). 

did you know that Warheads, Candy Corn, Red Vines, Tootsie Roll, Mike And Ike, Life Savers, Laffy Taffy, Dots, Jolly Ranchers, Butterfingers, Hershey's Kisses, and Peanut M&Ms - among many others - are only available in the US of A?  no?  welcome to the 90% (probably higher in the US, actually...)

on the whole, i'd say "yeah, more or less" - in as much as are both are full of conservatives/rednecks.

texas is a better comparison because in addition to the conservative/redneck thing:
- both have cattle
- both have oil & natural gas
- both have education rates below the national average
- both are the first place you think of when someone mentions "regressive social policy"


EDIT: apparently Saskatchewan wants to unseat Alberta as northern redneck central.
