I'm Melissa Oliveri, proud Canadian who lived in Eastern Ontario, Montreal, and Quebec City throughout the first 26 years of my life, then was swept off my feet and moved to Minneapolis, MN in 2006. I am very fortunate to have a wonderful husband and son here in the U.S. but that doesn't mean there aren't things about Canada that I miss dearly.

Today my son Luca will be joining me as we taste-test and rate Canadian snacks. We were able to find a few things at our local World Market store, but most of the foods we'll discuss were shipped to our house from Canadian Food to USA. I'll put links to both below.

I was born and raised in Canada before moving to the US in my mid 20s. Over the years, I’ve often heard people in the US casually say the two countries are “practically the same”, causing me to bristle a little. To be sure, there are positive and negative things about both countries, but they are definitely not “Practically the same!” In this podcast, we will elaborate on the differences between Canada and the United States, from food to culture to language, music, weather... you name it! We’ll leave no stone unturned from my own perspective along with that of special guests as we explore what it’s like to be CanAmerican! 

CanAmerica, a new podcast by Melissa Oliveri – Coming Soon!
