Yeah, I spent over six months in Canada (1994) and been there lots of times since. (Remember those Molson ads gloating about the Blue Jays World Series victories, by any chance? The foil was a hapless American tourist.)

The Canadian chattering classes are definitely anti-American, but so are the American chattering classes. Tie

Canadians in general, it seems to me, often harbor a resentment of the United States and do feel morally superior. In part this is because of the history of race relations in this country. Since Canada has historically been monolithically Northern European (the Francophones'll take what we give 'em) they have no real basis for comparison.


Basically, Canada is Minnesota without electoral votes.

By and large, that is a fair (and balanced) characterization of Canada.. ;)

Yeah I get your drift, sort of how the Americans view Mexico and Mexico the Guatamalins..., it must be a north/south viewing thing. I wonder how that works in the southern hemispere... I guess the Southerners look down thier noses at the Northerners down there.
