Subsonic You are the nicest Canadian on the forum

garyt1957 doesn't reflect on the majority of Canadians

Where exactly were you?
My guess is near Toronto, which is the most despised city in Canada, imo.
I don't consider them real Canadians for the most part.

I live in Michigan, so mostly visit Windsor, Hamilton, Chatham and that area. Like I said, it's anecdotal, and certainly not everyone I've met but there did seem to be an undercurrent of US resentment going on. Maybe no different then you running into a few fat, loud obnoxious Americans and thinking we're all like that.

Par4QC Maybe they now owe us some reparations

Our doofus PM is good at apologizing for shit that happened 300 years ago, that was nobody's fault.
Ring him up.

garyt1957 I live in Michigan

I understand the Ugly American sentiment that comes up sometimes, but it's never happened to me personally.

During my 3 trips there (One was at the age of 12 to Detroit for hockey tournament and stayed with American family) and the two times I stayed at sandbagger's place and golfed with the locals, I cannot recall a bad experience out there.
I even had a nice chat with a janitor at the Detroit airport in the middle of night during my overnight stay there on the floor.
Maybe the closeness to the border has something to do with that.

I can tell you a story or two about some of the geographically ignorant people our hockey teams met in Lakeland and Tampa, Florida though.

That reminds me of a story that confirms your experience. I'm with friends on a fishing trip to Lake Athabasca near the NW Territories. One of the other groups in the camp that week was a Premier curling team that finished runner-up in the Canadian Olympic qualifying tournament that year. They claimed their runner-up prize was this trip as a team to fish trophy Northerns and Bass. We played cards every night and drank lots of Canadian whiskeys while kibitzing around the table.

One of the Canadian nationals suggested we play a side game of 'name the state capital for the US states' and those guys were sharp and knew their shit better than my fellow American friends did. Carson City. Montpelier. Pierre. How'd they know those small capital cities off the beaten path? Great bunch of guys and they drank like fish.

I'm from the deep south and the only times I've been to Canada are three or four short business trips to Mississauga, But everyone there treated me nicely despite my accent and dark skin coloration (I never knew how white people could actually be until I visited up there). I mostly interfaced with people that wanted my money (business deals and restaurant visits) which could explain the nice treatment, but even when out and about on the streets I felt safe. No one responded to my hi's or more southern howdy as I passed by them on the street, but that is also common in the northern states of the U.S.

Par4QC guess what episode is on, right now.

Canucks seem to more about the US then Americans know about Canada.
So I'm sitting drinking with a bunch of Americans at a volleyball tournament in Beaver Penn. About 35 years ago. A Guy found out i was from Toronto. Asked me what kind of cars we drive up there and if i knew a distant relative named Dave that lived there. Slightly drunk i said we drive little cars cause the roads are small and gravel. Also, hell yes I knew Dave. Small place Toronto. Only 2.5 million people back then. The guy had absolutely no clue about Canada. And i was drinking the shittiest vodka called belive it or not Mohawk Vodka. 4 bucks a 26er.

I went to Canada by accident, once, Texas too, but not in the same trip. True stories.

Canada is great. In my limited experience, I think they have much better strip clubs up north 😄

Spuzz

KCee better strip clubs

100% true, so I'm told

I've visited Vancouver and Prince George, BC. Both were incredible. Food, cleanliness, hospitality. I'd go back in a second.
