1-Volunteered at church to set up for an event. They gave me a butcher knife and potatoes to peel. I asked for a potato peeler and they had no clue what I was talking about. Then those ladies told everyone I'm an american princess who cant even peel potatoes. (Yet I couldnt believe canada hasnt discovered a dollar-store potato peeler.)
2-Canadian 'friends' popped in (came to US to visit without any notice). Told them if I knew in advance I could ask for vacation days, but now can only take a sick day. Played the tourist guide that day. Found out later, they actually told me to my face, they were laughing at me earlier behind my back that I didnt have anything planned.
3-Went to an anniversary celebration and they publicly humiliated my mother by seating her with little kids throwing food around, seating me in the back of the room so I wouldnt see.
4-At dinner they were bragging about all these canadian actors. I had enough and said 'but they had to come to USA to become rich and famous'.
5-At a souvenir shop, I was tired so I gave my daughter $10 and told her I will sit outside the door, buy what you want. A few minutes later she got kicked out of the store, money still in hand. Sales person started yelling at me in another language. I tried to tell her my daughter has money to pay and without a purse or pockets couldnt steal anything. And that woman spit toward my feet.
6- I was engaged to a canadian. Before I knew anything they found me a job at a doctor's office. I worked all my life so it didnt bother me too much but with my experience I could find a job on my own. So as we plan to marry I said we need a washer and dryer and his mother called me american princess that I want everything. So I said OK, don't, he will come over to your house or a laundromat to do laundry while I do house chores. That wasnt good either because we'd have to pay their water bill. Laundry is woman's work so I said supporting a family is man's work.
The only satisfaction I got was we broke up, eventually I married another and had 2 kids. My mom sent a pic of my kids to her friend in another state. Later we were told the fiance's mom visited that lady, saw the picture and started crying "these could have been my grandchildren". Yet she was the one who caused our break up.
As for my family, grew up in PA when we travel people will say 'you must be from PA' because we held the door open for the elderly or let a person with 1-2 items ahead of us at cashier etc.
The potato peeler one proves Canadians will flex over anything. Should've said "In America we peel potatoes with a sledgehammer and eat them raw." I do not want to know what all these Canadians have been saying about me behind my back, the 11 years I've lived here.
Definitely sneared down to me.

I dont normally post an encyclical but you asked.
