Fortunately, Americans do not hate Canadians. We have taken the high road. We love our neighbors and are kind to them.

You sure wouldn't Know it by all the vitrolic tripe posted on this board.

What right do you have calling Canadians cowards. Why would you say Canadians hate Americans, when 911 happened, Canada landed lots of US passenger jets that you wouldn't land.

How may of these passengers were taken into Canadian homes and taken care of like family?.There were a lot of Canadians killed in 911. There were millions of $$$ sent to the first responders fund.

It is sad that two countries, who are each others largest trading partners, have not had a gun on 5000 miles of border for years, cannot get over this childish bickering of what we think of you. From this board I would say the hate comes a lot more from S. to N., than from N.to S.

We fought side by side from 1939 to 1945.

We have got to be more positive with each other.

Thanks for listening to this rant. Regards

I have lived overseas with Canadians. Great people. However, they did have an attitude towards Americans.

I have never once heard an American say they hated Canada or the Canadian people. After articles like this, things could change. I hope not. Just because Canadians hate Americans is no reason for us to respond in hate.

Ahem, if I were American, I would rather have a friend like this:

A continent and a friend (Australia - pro America pro Israel)

It's not "hate" that you see directed at Canada. It's more like "You hate our guy in the WH? Off with you, (expletive)." Said in the heat of the moment and forgotten ten minutes later.

We share the same Mother country, so to speak. It is true, we have a thousands mile long border, that for all intents is unprotected. That's a tribute to both the USA and Canada and how we view each other. While we share so much, we will have differences. Americans see so many foreign leaders and high profile speakers taking issue with much of what we do and think. It's offensive to have our closest and dearest neighbor join the chorus. So, it's natural to straightaway say, "off with you, eh."

Deep down in our hearts, though, we'd die to defend you and Canada, should she ever become a victim of disaster or external aggression.

Now....what the heck is wrong with those Quebecois????
