and while we are patting ourselves on the back we all know the number 1 by a wide margin reason we know so much about the US is their cultural influence (i.e. television watching).
I know that Spokane's main event is called Bloomsday, not because of my worldly travels and superior education system, but because it was during commercials while I was watching Arnold say "Whatchoo talkin' bout Willis".

Fotze wins.
The only reason we feel so high and mighty because we know so much about the US is because we get almost all of our (good) TV from there. Places like Youtube that garner millions of hits a day frolm Canadians consistently have Presidential debates and other current US news on them. We're constantly bombarded with all things American, we'd have to be dense not to absorb it.
If the roles were reversed I'm sure they'd be a lot more informed about Canada...at least enough to know that Jean Poutine was gone from office years ago
