Most Americans who don't live near the Canadian border know next to nothing
about Canada.  They have vague notions about beer drinking, Lumber jacks, and
the McKenzie twins.  It is really a sad situation that we are so ignorant of
one of our nearest neighbors.  However, cinematicly speaking this ignorance
means that you can construct a mileu like TP and create a very effective
MYTHICAL Canada to set your film in.  (Of course this won't work for
Canadians).  It is also true the Twin Peaks is a lot like Canada in some ways ,
because it is true the much of the U.S. near the boarder is like Canada. 
Listen to a northern Minnesotan talk sometime.
