Not being either a citizen of the USA or Canada I have gone through most of this thread with some amusement. It is nice to be standing on the outside of the forest looking in sometimes.
How come citizens of the USA are known as Americans but citizens of Canada are not also known as Americans? Don't both countrys form North America? In fact Canada is much larger than the USA. Maybe Canadians have more claim to known as Americans???
Hmmmmm.
Ask any Canadian a string of general knowledge questions about the US & see how many are answered correctly. Ask the US citizen the same questions about Canada, Capital, Leader, sports etc & you will likely get silence. The only thing known about Canada is that cold air comes from there.
Heck, the Canadian most likely knows more the US, provided you don't ask about Hollywood celebrities or sports, than the US citizen.
A sad situation.
The US has Florida where very few speak English. Canada has Quebec where most of them know English but refuse to speak it. Don't those folks know that they lost a war 200 years ago & through the kindness of the English were allowed to stay. Show some respect & appreciation or go back to France or maybe a Louisiana swamp.
On the serious side, Canada is the very best friend of the USA, along with England. Be nice to each other & respect or smile at each others cultural differences when visiting each other.
