I lived in parts of SoCal and although I came across racists, I met far more intelligent, polite and tolerant folks. I agree with the OP that Canadians bash America way too much and it makes them look ignorant.

+1. I'm from Calgary but currently live in Virginia (just outside of Washington D.C.), and I have had the same experience.
On a related note, I came across this yesterday (I'm not sure how trustworthy this site is so caveat here) -

Regardless of the above, I find the amount of collaboration between Canadian conservative politicians and Rebel Media a little troubling, given their messages. Andrew Scheer himself has, or had political staffers who held Director positions in Rebel Media. Jason Kenny has delivered a few right-wing gems through Rebel channels as well.
Thoughts?
Feels like mainstream politicians in Canada regularly legitimize an outlet that incites the sort of thinking that fuels hate. Canadians on the whole seem to not have an issue with this.
What am I missing?
