Why didn't the Natives of Canada and the US have civilization

They simply weren't as fascinated with chopping off people's heads.

Cahokia was the closest thing they had and it collapsed due to disease/war

US/Canadian natives were far more nomadic than central/South American natives, the only US/Canadian ones that weren't were usually conquered or disappeared under mysterious circumstances

We got that from Spaniards, tho.

But they did, goy. Don't you know about the great empires of pre-Columbian US and Canada? 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 people lived there before the Europeans murdered all of them.

But da noble Aztecs enjoyed such a pastime.

No, they enjoyed ripping off hearts. Spaniards loved beheading insurgents.

There's far less necessity to ever build cities when wooden buildings and tents will provide adequate shelter, and there's a billion animals to provide any other resource you're looking for.

Well, their favorite was cutting out hearts, but I'm relatively sure they also chopped off heads for fun, too.
I won't deny Spaniards liked beheadings, however.

Huh, I just read about it and it turns out you are right.

Around the Great Lakes, tribes had large villages, trade networks and farming. Not as grand as Aztecs or anything, but a lot more civilization than people think. Not much was made out of stone so very little survived.
