Maybe you didn't pay enough attention?

I mean, no doubt the flora and fauna are similar in Ontario and Michigan.

But the differences in demographics and architecture are striking, and anyone who spends any appreciable time in the two places would be able to discern the differences in political attitudes and social norms.
