White Neutrals are bonded to Earth Ground in the building supply panel in
N.A.
If you get tingly feelings from white wires, you may want to check the bus
bar in the main panel box before it corrodes more and things start to
smoke......Wasn't there a thread on this here a couple of months ago?

Definitely in US and Canada black is hot/live/painful/burnt and white is
neutral/slightly-tingly-to-the-touch. Green is earth ground. Red is used as
well when there is more than one switch in a circuit.
