I haven't ever been to Canada so I don't know, but my friend says Canadians are nice people. I'm from Washington on the west coast USA and I haven't been to Canada. lol
Canada is a bit socialist, but so is most of the world.
I have to respect their military. The US tried to conquer them on two separate occasions (during both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812), and Canada cleaned their clocks both times.
They overvalue their currency. I live within two hours of the boarder, and I have worked food service. They often do not understand why an American just will not take a Loony at the same value as a greenback.
They definitely are a welcoming lot. As a US citizen it is easier to get into Canada than it is to return home.
In short, I'm cool with Canadians.

Oh, so just because someone's put on a little weight, you think you can call them the world, eh? How rude of you, sir.
Yeah...that was a terrible joke. I apologize.
I have never been to Canada, though I wouldn't mind visiting some day. I hear good things, especially about the forests and greenery, and the bacon is quite delicious.

Canadians are peaceful and have healthcare. So I'd say you're a bit like a North American Europe. It's much easier to identify with Canadians than Americans (USAers) for me.
[small]Why do we almost exclusively call people from the USA Americans, by the way? Everybody in North and South America are Americans.
That'd be like calling French Europeans but nobody else from Europe Europeans.[/small]
Now from personal experience: Unfortunately, I was there only once when I was a wee lad and remember little of it.
But I remember that I liked it there.

In stereotypes, a bit weird, quirky and to nice. As both a Canadian (by birth and by law) and Irish (blood and location) I have to deal with both stereotypes and general ignorance regularly.
In real life however, Canada's freaking awesome!

A friend of mine informed me that you've moved to ban white bread because it's unhealthy.
You people confuse me.
We're the United States of America. America be in our name, so it's not irrational to just shorten it to 'America' and 'Americans'.
If you really want to get technical, you can just call us citizens of the United States of America.

Mexico is the United States of Mexico. We still call Mexico 'Mexico', though.Skeleon said:

I just checked, and the Canadian dollar is about 97c American.Anacortian said:
So... rounded off, that's a dollar...
I guess the question becomes: Why don't you believe the CAN$ has parity with a US$?
