Maybe more pride in home ownership?
Also, Canada has been far more left leaning than the other two, imo Canada is closer to New Zealand just harder to leave out of a world map.

FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 3 days agoExactly! I think either this is SO innacurate, or :
- Green actually shows 'shoes on at work’
- Green actually shows ‘takes shoes off after crossing the threshold rather than beforehand,’
How can Canada be a shoes off country if Britain and America are shoes-on? It just couldn’t be.

Weather.
In Canada (except near Vancouver) you have to wear winter boots whenever you’re outside for many months.
In most of the UK, and part of the US, you never get snow.
People wearing winter boots change them when they get home. If you’re just wearing sneakers or something, it’s more reasonable to keep wearing them around the house.
I think there are probably a fair number of homes in Canada (especially on the west coast) where people wear shoes around the house. There are probably even places where people switch from winter boots to “house shoes” or something. But, I’d imagine that there are many more “shoes off” houses in Canada just because of winter, and many more “shoes on” houses in say Miami or Phoenix or Los Angeles where it never gets cold.
Similarly, I would be that even though Argentina and Chile are listed as “shoes on” countries, my guess is that in the deep south where it can get wintery, they at a minimum change their footwear after coming inside in the winter.
