The Americans are like the eldest son, brilliant and high-achieving, but still with a teenager's earnest and over-zealous ideals. He never calls, and when he does, it is out of sense of charity. One day he will calm down and recognise that there is some wisdom left in his elders, but in the meantime it's an exciting ride.
The Canadians are the goody two-shoes second son, basically decent but rather dull, always seeking the approval of the parents and forever always grassing up the elder brother for his excesses.
