Most Canadians live close the the border. If you cross to the American side of border, in a rural area, do Canadianisms (1) like "[aboat](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/aboat)" (2) suddenly become much less common?

Since this created controversy, allow me to quote the dictionaries:

(1)

**Canadianism**

*noun*

1. a word, expression, ***or other language feature*** that is characteristically Canadian.
2. the state of being Canadian, or the character and spirit characteristic of Canadians.

(2)
