Wow! Canada really is a foreign country, isn't it? In the U.S., we give someone a lift or a ride, but not a drive. I've never heard it used that way.

It immediately sounded British to me...definitely not American.

At the Peace Arch between Washington State and British Columbia, one side has inscribed, "Children of a Common Mother"

It is definitely not BrE. We give someone a lift, not a drive.
