Hi, I may be being a little stupid here but I've noticed in several threads a general dislike of Canadians by some american people. Can i ask why, as it seems utterly illogical to me! Also, why do you dislike the French so much? I don't understand!

There is no widespread hatred of Canada by most US citizens. Most of us like Canadians, but don't usually think about Canada or Canadian politics. We just seem to like our neighbors to the north. As for France, there has for some time been a slight dislike of French culture brewing among many Americans. They are often portrayed as snobbish and effete.

Hey man I have no problem with Canada, I think there maybe a little joking about Canada, but I dont think we really dislike them, I actually think Canada is pretty cool (except it still has some government apointed by the queen of England) And France, I like them allright, they were our first ally, and helped us win the Revolution, and although they arent helping us now, I cant blame em, Its a stupid situation. They are a bit snobbish though.

There is a large section of America that is very distrustful and disdainful for anything that is not American. American politicians have spent the last 60 years cramming us full of nationalistic ideas.

The Attorney General (the portion of government I assume you are referring to) has about as much power over Canada as the Queen over England. She waves, she smiles, she hands our awards, and then we put her back into her little hole.

The ratio of Anti-Canadian to anti-American threads is like 1:500. So it's okay to piss on Canada every once in a while.

The ratio of Canadian fuck ups to American fuck ups is about 1:1000 so I think Canada may be getting more than it's share of threads.

We have no right to "dislike" any country. especially Canada. after our collective national shame of this past presidential election.

Well, the ratio of candians to Americans is about 1:1000 so of course there will be more in America. Check the mirror.

Do you watch the news? The French not only look down their collective nose at us, they actively oppose and sabotage our international relations. The Canadians don't like current US foreign policy, and some of them have done things like boo American students who played in a sports competition, but most Canadians at least try to be fair.

Collective national shame? *sighs* You people need to get the hell over it. Your canidate lost, ours won. Stop bitching about it.

I dislike the Canadian Government and I dislike some Canadians. Those I dislike are either complete morons or more arrogant than any American I've ever met.

Alot of Americans dislike the French due to France's overwhelming arrogance. France has actively worked against American interests since the 1950s.

An exact reason as to why some Americans tend to dislike Canadians.

Trite image removed.
This picture has been shopped around for years by anti-Americans. There is no basis for it.

America thinks it is great. So what. So do most nations. (except Poland, serious inferirority complex).

Taking pride in your nation is not a crime, contrary to popular (around here) opinion.

Your freedom to live collectively in a maximum-security institution of your own making inspires no enmity in me, just pity.
