I get the impression that a lot of Americans dislike Canadians because they assume most Canadians are liberal, but not all are. I live in a small town in southern Ontario and most people here think we should be allowed to own guns (a lot already own guns) and that homosexual marriage is wrong.
So not all Canadians are bad.

I like Canadians. But your political views are bad. And wrong. Are you insinuating that the Canadians that disagree with you are bad?

I'm American (From the U.S.A. that is) and I have a problem with all Canadians. It wouldd have to depend on the person on whether or not I like someone, not where they are from.
As for the Canadians who are liberal, is that such a bad thing? Shouldn't people be able to have the beliefs they choose to have?
Also, it's ridiculous to think all people from the same place have the same political beliefs. I know how that stereotype feels. I'm from Texas and some people think I must be a conservative and a republican because of that. Without getting to know me, they think it's not possible for me to be anything else.
In case anyone cares I'm more what they would call moderate.

Well first off not liking homosexual marriage doesn't make you an "okay" person. My opinion of that is people should let them do whatever they want and stay out of their business. Maybe you think all Americans don't like homosexuals or think its wrong for them to get married, well that's not true. But anyway I'm American and I don't dislike anyone from different countries some people think Canadians are annoying though cuz they say "eh" a lot lol

Americans make fun of Canadians because of their funny accent and love of maple syrup. Canadians make fun of American's because no one likes Americans we are arrogant and rude. Canadians and Americans are not both Americans we are just neighbors and live in North America. Americans (at least in my mind) refers to the United states of America which Canada is not apart

I have no problem with Canadians except the ones who come on here and pretend to be Americans just so they can start arguments and then report the people who have a different opinion than they do. I know a lot of people who are Canadians and we get along just fine and visit regularly.

No, not at all....
I think most Americans like Canadians, they are the quiet neighbor to the North. Not sure where you got your impression from but remember that many people on this forum are far to the extremes in their opinions and views. I like Canadians and in my opinion most Americans do also.

@ clutchmaster150
lmao. WHERE do you get your information? Your "facts" are a little flawed. Or, a lot. Canadians certainly do NOT pay 60% of their income in taxes; not even close.
The health care system is not the mess the US government would have it's citizens believe. If people think that socialized medicine will cause them to wait so long for treatment they'll die, then that's what the government will tell them. Whatever it takes to keep the money rolling in.
We pay high taxes on optional things - alcohol, tobacco, gas, etc. Many "necessities" are tax exempt - most food, childrens clothing, etc.
No one in Canada pays 60% income tax. Or ever has.

Most Americans are liberal. At least, the majority of American voters are registered Democrats.
Most Americans are more just unaware of Canada. Yeah, it's right there, but it's a good neighbor that doesn't make a nuisance of itself, and it's not culturally that different from America. So, strong feelings about Canada would be unusual.

Most of the repKons I know ridicule and belittle Canada every chance they get.
Myself, I like every Canadian I've ever met, except for a few French speaking Quebecois who couldn't get over the fact that they weren't born in Paris.
Instead of accomodating those imbeciles, and putting up with their fist shaking threats to withdraw from the nation, you ought to throw the fools out. See how they like living in the worlds newest impoverished third world country.

So to sum up what you say-Canadians who don't own guns and who support homosexual marriages are 'bad Canadians'? Did I understand you correctly-that to be a gun toting opponent of homosexual marriages is a good thing? Not on my planet. Thankfully, narrow minded bigots like you are in a minority in Canada.

I've never met a Canadian I didn't like, and I've never met an American that said he or she disliked Canadians.
I think all of that dislike stuff started on the South Park movie. Personally, I hope to be living up in Canada (spring through fall) starting next year. :)
