I think the reason there's some animosity towards Americans from Canadians is they are generally quite ignorant of Canada. I was born in the US, but left when I was pretty young and consider myself Canadian, although I am a dual citizen. I do have a lot of American friends though and it astounds me how little they know about a country that is right next to them sometimes. Most of it is the schooling. From what I understand you guys learn very little history outside your own. To be honest we're pretty much the same. It just bothers me when I'm in the States and someone asks where I'm from and I say Calgary and they have no idea what I'm talking about. That's like us having no idea what you're talking about if you say Seattle, or Pittsburgh. Theres like 5 major cities in Canada....freaking learn them!
