We no longer have Methodists in Canada, because they were absorbed into the United Church of Canada in 1925 along with Congregationalists and some Presbyterian congregations. But the church I grew up in was very aware that it had started out as a Methodist church in the mid 1800s, and still did John Wesley's order of service, so you might say that I grew up as an honourary Methodist, and that we align almost perfect both on our religious backgrounds and current beliefs.
(There is still a splinter evangelical group called "Free Methodists" around the St. Lawrence River in Upstate NY and Eastern Ontario; I was told they got the name because they didn't charge pew rents in the 19th century, but that might be wrong).
