I've never really thought of it that way. I guess we are all brothers, sisters, etc. I've always said "cousins". My family is from all 4 countries in the British Isles plus several more in Europe and who knows where else! One of our family homes is a "Historic House" in North Yorkshire now. Our family sold it in the early 1900's. My cousins were involved in the shipyard which built the TITANTIC in Belfast. One man claims we are Scots-Irish, but I say Anglo-Irish. We only stayed one generation in Ulster Plantation, and what nationality we married, I don't know. We came to America, the West Indies, Canada, Russia, Holland, and ? The sun never set on the British Empire until the last century. We Americans are still great Royal Watchers. All the English-speaking peoples of the world, regardless of color are related in one way or another. My husband would love to live in the outback of Australia and my niece has live there and my son was almost an exchange student in one of your northern cities. So, we know where you are. Expect us next week! We'll be the American-looking tourists. I've been told I look Dutch with a touch of Scandinavian.

I do too. We are very similiar in that we both started out as British colonies, we both settled in lands with native populations, Our countries both had a lot of ranching, we both speak English, and the settlers that first came here from both were English, Scottish and Irish etc so American, Austrailia and Canada are all similiar that way. But we are closer to Austrailia politically.
I used to have an Aussie boss and He was a lot of fun and a great guy and we all loved his accent.

Australia has been by the side of the US in every major armed conflict since WWI. That includes Viet Nam, Korea, Gulf War I and II.
God Bless the Diggers.

I AGREE TOO. Glad to know that an Australian would have that opinion. I think our leaders should sit down and get pissed up together a lot more often. One year our president is in charge of the campsite, yours in charge of the food, New Zealand in charge of the liquor...Canada brings the fishing poles...and rotate. And they can't come home until somebody gets hurt.

I've known several Aussies, Canuks, and Brits.
There does indeed seem to be some sort of comradery between Americans, Aussies, and Canadians. It's good.
I think it's because we all broke free of those pesky British...
;-)
A certian kind of respect and admiration the three countries have toward each other.

I like Australia. BUT I was ashamed when Australians just whined, cried, and let the government take away their firearms. You blokes used to have backbones.... I think the liberals got to you.
Well, we have plenty of sissies here, too.

That’s fine. As long as you remember that we are the handsome & smart brother. You guys can be the funny brother. All we need now is a third crack-addicted brother to worry about and we will be a normal family.

Australia and Canada never 'broke free' from Britain. The act of Dominion made them British Dominions, or Brother States, whereby we gave them almost full autonomy but we still had an alliance with each other
