@@alexross1816 It has a lot to do with outsiders acting as if all Americans are just stereotypical, ignorant white people when in reality it's a massively diverse group of cultures & races from all backgrounds that immigrated & helped build the country. Insulting it is almost like insulting their work & ignoring their history. I just know my uncle (from India) gets super annoyed when he sees some non-American generalizing the people pretending as though they're a bunch of self-centered, war-mongering, gun-wielding, evangelical, privileged white people. He's American too, so ignoring that bothers him. Hell, I get annoyed too reading certain comments.

As a French-American who moved to Canada, I think this episode of King of the Hill does a very good job of showing a reality of how some Canadians can be and their superiority complex. Don't get me wrong, I love Canada and I just applied for citizenship but I do wish Canadians had a better attitude towards the US. In university, I'd get annoyed with people in school who would say things that are completely wrong about the US's politics, culture, history, etc. I don't have a problem with criticizing the US and its problems I just wish that Canadians could stay focused on their criticism. I'll be the first person to say what is wrong with the US but it's just as ignorant as when Americans assume things about Canada that aren't true. All in all, I love our North American culture and wish that both sides got to know the other side more accurately. I did a whole paper in grad school about continentalism and how this could benefit both Canada and the US. If the general population were to understand each other better it would be something ideal that people might be able to support.

One of my most precious memories is travelling to South Carolina to meet a bunch of internet friends irl. One of our friends drive down from Ontario, which was amazing. We were drinking and he went on a legendary rant about how he thinks the CFL is stupid. I remember him saying, "WE CAN GET IT DONE IN 3 DOWNS? WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? WHY NOT 2 DOWNS THEN? OR ONE DOWN? OR NO DOWNS?" I enjoyed his passion. I don't watch any football so I have no opinion.

As a French Canadian, I can tell you a few things about Suzette : - Suzette is not even a common name in Quebec. It’s a classic « french from France » name. - Suzette has a French parisian accent, not a Quebec accent. - The spitting she did was not Québécois. So that’s my take on it :) Edit : Wow, didn’t see the replies. Her accent is maybe not Parisian, but certainely sounds more like stereotypical Metropolitan French accent. Also, I said Suzette is not a common name here, I didn’t say it doesn’t happen. Also, when I said spitting is not Quebecois, what I mean is it’s not in our culture. We don’t express ourselves like that. I just don’t know how to explain it. As for the guys pissing on the side of the road, I have never seen that but hey, there are idiots everywhere on this planet.

I think you really hit the nail on the head when you brought up the arbitrary nature of the Canada-US border. It's not defined by geography or anything like that but instead was just crudely carved up for political reasons. There's even segments of Canada/US that aren't connected by roads because of this haphazard division. It's really reminiscent of the borders of African countries.

He presents Canada to the world as an anglophone who completely disregards the existence of people living in the east, especially in Quebec., When he says something is not true about Canada, he's wrong. because if you were to come to Quebec and its surrounding provinces, it applies. He's incredibly misleading and you should not take his word as serious as he lacks in knowledge and tends to create his own ideal world of what he wants Canada to be in his mind, however we couldn't be further from it. And considering where the majority of the countries population is, and considering where the country was founded, and where it get any of it's national identities ALL COME FROM QUEBEC. The only thing that Canadians talk about that's supposedly distinct to Canada that's actually nowhere to be found in Quebec (excluding being sold at the Starbucks in Montreal), are Nainamo bars... Ive only seen that at startbucks and this one time at a maxi grocery store. Thats it. but EVERYTHING ELSE comes from Quebec. And here in Quebec, we give our height in cm (body measurements in foots is rare), and weight in kg (some people do pounds, but kilograms is much more commonly used)

I find it interesting when you said Canadians are always comparing Canada and America and how Canadians are always trying to take the moral high ground. Honestly, in the US, Americans overall don't really think about or compare themselves with Canadians, hardly ever! Any differences are rarely if ever, discussed in general conversation. Its just not something that is on our minds. Also, Americans never say anything derogatory about Canada or Canadians. Most Americans assume that Canadians are very much like Americans in many ways, just colder.

Here's an interesting entry on the naming: Mac, Scottish and Irish Gaelic surname prefix meaning “son.” It is equivalent to the Anglo-Norman and Hiberno-Norman Fitz and the Welsh Ap (formerly Map). Just as the latter has become initial P, as in the modern names Price or Pritchard, Mac has in some names become initial C and even K-e.g., Cody, Costigan, Keegan. Similarly, Dermot O’Tierney was simply Dermot the grandson of a man called Tierney (Ua, later shortened to O, means grandson or, more loosely, descendant). --Britannica As for not reading what was written, you did not see that I was merely agreeing that the rule was insufficient and pointing out one way how.

French people are in France. Canadians are French speaking and English speaking. Most speak both languages with zero accent and have names that wouldn't match with their heritage. For example I've seen people mock French speaking Canadians to people who have English sounding names with no accent only for them to find out they come from the French speaking parts of Canada. Also, the west was originally settled by the eastern French speaking Canadians which then saw the English/Scots/etc come in afterwards. Language doesn't determine our ethnic origin or heritage.
