You think all Americans are stupid? We know what's going on up there. You cook over a caribou-chip fire, frying baby seal steaks in walrus blubber.
In my experience, it's a mistake to ask Canadians this question. They're torn between a desire to tell you the truth and a desire to be polite. :-)
It doesn't matter what you know. What matters is the 'education' we give Americans. All we need to do is convince the masses we are a technically advanced society and they'll buy anything we have to sell. Put some horns on the baby seals and Americans will believe they're grade A Canadian beef. Add sulfur to our livestock produced methane and Americans will buy it as natural gas. A bit of coal and walrus blubber becomes high grade high priced oil. We cover all the angles and we're after your money.
