Whenever there's a discussion on politics, the whole world understandably comes down on America. But more recently it seems whenever _any_ topic comes up, people are quick to attack Americans regardless of how irrelevant nationality is to the subject.
I'm wondering if Canadians truly feel superior to Americans, or if politics is clouding everything. I haven't visited Canada recently, but a friend of mine who recently visited said he was actually accosted by the natives on a recent trip once they found out he was an American.
Last time I did visit I was shocked to find that, if anything, their quality of life is higher than ours. I find it somewhat amusing that they feel the need to bash common Americans, based solely on that single identifier, when they are almost totally dependent on their relationship with us (as we are them -- we're mutually biggest trading partners).
I know this probably sounds like an underhanded insult, but I really want to know if this is how they feel.
