I am not familiar with the concept of "issue" - must be Canadian.

Only *dumb* Americans resent Canada. I've met some Canadians and I've been to Canada, and I see *no* reason whatsoever to resent them.\n\nI think some idiots took the South Park song "Blame Canada" a bit too seriously and have absolutely *no* idea what satire nor sarcasm really is.

Who is that idiot??  \nCanada is not a state, it's a country, and not all our milk is in a bag, fool! \n\nCanada is great, except for the new Prime Minister but the US has George Bush so we all have our problems. It's not always cold up here, the weather is alot like New York,(At least for me, I'm in Toronto,  I wish I was spoiled for weather like in BC but, that's another issue) But of course the closer you get to the Arctic the colder it gets- just common sense. We don't all have those stupid accents either unless you're in the Prairies (everything between BC and Ontario) or the Maritimes (everything east of Quebec).\nBut everything is pretty much the same here in Canada like it is in the States, except that we do things a bit more... 'European', and we don't  have that superiority complex (but if we were the biggest baddest nation in the world, you bet your a$$ we would!)\n\nAnd while we're clearing things up, can everyone stop with the "Eh!" stupidness.  Where did that even come from anyways?

Because some, not all, think that they actually run the world (see the Project for the New American Century for specifics).  I find most Americans to be wonderful people but some, mostly those in powerful positions, speak to the world in a condescending manner which sadly reflects badly on all Americans.  \nBTW, I am Canadian myself and although I understand your sarcasm vis a vis the tax and policing the world, it really wasn't a very good analogy.  \n\nCheers to Cute Fuzzy Kitty

If you ask most Americans to tell you something about Canada 9 out of 10 times it will be "it's cold up there".  Often the butt of many jokes, Canadians happen to be very loyal and conservative people who not only love their country but will also go to the extreme for their environment.  Not only is their healthcare of the utmost importance to their government but it is also a blessing to people to which take such criticism due to lack of knowledge.  Considering the close proximity of the two countries one would think their education systems would have a more detailed history corriculum of their neighboring country.\n\nHome of Hockey, SCTV comedy in London, Ont has hosted some of the best comedians to ever make it big, the CN Tower in Toronto is one of the largest standing structures in the world (if not the tallest), Yonge Street is the longest road travelling through Canada.  The Flag is red and white and consists of two white stripes and a maple leaf in the center.  The two main languages spoken in Canada but not limited to are French and English.  And a majority of Playboy and Penthouse models...they are Canadian born and raised.  And then there is the trillium...

New Zealnaders rather like you Canadians: you make polite guests, and you have charming accents. We share a lot in common, such as government and hatred for all Americans :), and we are both quiet acheivers in international politics. \n\n We don't like the fact that you still have French people, and have stopped playing international cricket and rugby, though. :)

As a Canadian I like that USA people are called Americans so that they are not confused with us Canucks.

Because American citizens are rude and demanding.  If European people can tell the difference between a Canadian and a American by talking to them, the there is a problem.  They don't want you to stop existing, just to shut-up.

You bloody Canadians that can't spell idiots prove the point. Hey?

the most often is "eh?"  (pronounced "A") it is a common word in Canada, because we use it to invoke a conversation. \n\nEg:  It is a great day eh?  or that movie was really good eh? \n\nso that the other person will give you a response. \n\n:-)\n\ncool eh?

In Canada, we seem to have our jokes about the "newfies" the people from Newfoundland which is on the East Coast of Canada. \n\neg:  So this Newfie drove to Toronto, and saw the exit sign that said "Toronto left", so he turned around & went back to Newfoundland.

Because people think that since we're "north" we are like greenland or something. they are dumb, that's why! and for the french, thats also dumb too...the person before said that 50% of canada speaks french? you must be kidding! with Quebec being the only main pocket of french speakers, with scattered francophones it is not half of canada!

Does it make a difference whether the anglophone is a Brit, a Canadian, an Irishman, or an American?   \n\n(I can't imagine how an Aussie's French would sound!)

used the word "eh" at the end of a sentence when they ask a question or make a statement.
