#1 Canadians generally like Americans more than they do Canadians in other Provinces.

Good point ... speaking as a former Canadian, now U.S. citizen (I didn't sneak across the border ... then wait around for some amnesty program ... all done on the up & up, very legally ... thank you) I would concur. My visits back to Canada, especially when I drive my car with a U.S. license, seem to be appreciated ... as I'm treated as a visiting tourist. Canadians like tourists, particularly Americans, and even in Quebec will go out of their way to be accommodating. This is even more evident in the early summer months while everyone is still bright eyed and bushy tailed ... than later when the tourism thing starts to get old ... which happens in any area where tourism dollars are important to the local economy ... not just Canada. Canadians and Americans will always have differences ... but nowhere on this planet do two neighboring nations have such a long unprotected border. There's mutual respect for one another by both nations.

Thanks.
As a former Canadian, you'd be in a good position to know to what degree there is real anti-Americanism in Canada.
My oldest son is now also an American and about 1/3 of our extended family are Americans, so I know these types of articles are horseheit. Unfortunately, there appear to be many here who appear to want to believe that we are a hotbed of anti-americanism and I don't understand the motivation for that..
Any enlightenment in that area would be appreciated...
