I've visited Canada for work a couple times in the last year.

There are some nice people there, but as a whole people are simply less friendly there.

Add to that a constant Anti-American message coming from your government, a message which seems to be helping them do well in the polls, and you make a lot of Americans resentful.

The liberals in your country are so proud of the fact that they have their great socialist benefits, but they simply couldn't pay for them if they did rely on the US for defense and economic support through trade.

I was wrong in my earlier comment that Canada is mostly self sufficient. They could be, but they would have to scrap much if not most of their socialist programs.

Your government is an ungrateful leach that American taxpayers a paying a burden to support. That breeds a lot of resentment.

They blame their policy failures on the US. They try and export bad policy to the US. They interfere in our efforts to protect ourselves as well as them.

Your government is democratically elected. Maybe only a minority are strongly anti-American, but the majority are still anti-American enough to keep electing such a government.

What do you think would happen to your country if the America haters in the US Democratic Party fell out of power here and we start sticking up for ourselves when Canada bashes us?

What do you think would happen if we started placing tariffs on Canadian goods to pay for the border security we have to have because you don't do your share?

If the American people go from mostly ignoring your government to actively opposing it and started boycott Canadian goods you'd be in serious trouble very quickly. Your social programs already have your economy strangled. Hard economic times make the costs of those programs skyrocket. It would not take a lot to put Canada into a serious economic depression.

The Canadian government needs to quit attacking their friends to the south. Our countries have been friends for a very long time to our mutual benefit, however your country's choices have made that friendship much less beneficial for us than it once was. If you keep telling us you don't want to be friends, we might eventually listen and force you to stand on your own. As things are now, on your own, your economy would collapse in a matter of months at most.

I am not against the Canadian people, but the Canadian people. There are definately some great people in Canada who are trying to do what is right for Canada and for the world. However, as a whole, your country needs to tart taking responsibility for your own actions and start being an equal partner in it's dealings with the US. Otherwise our generosity my some day come to an end.
