Canada is similar in many ways to the United States. Both countries share the same language, values, and a free market economy. Also, they share a common border. Therefore, the Canadian flag must look a lot like the U. S. flag.

Is this an inductive or deductive argument?

Inductive argument.

Explanation:

An inductive argument is the use of accumulated instances of evidence to support a general conclusion about something particular. Inductive reasoning is used to describe the possibility that a situation will be true in the future. An inductive argument is kind of argument in which the arguer wants to be convincing enough that if the assumptions believe to be true then the inference would be impossible to be false.
