As an American citizen living in Canada for the last almost 20 years, I agree 100%. I finally told my Canadian husband to stop telling people I’m American. I mentioned some of what you just said - before I read it - in my reply to another post above. There are some very wonderful Canadians, but even the nice ones have preconceived notions about Americans - and I don’t think they even realized it. I left a family dinner with my husband’s family one time over the anti- America(n) conversation my brother-in-law was spouting, knowing full well I’m American and I was sitting right there. (Get this: his own Dad was born in Canada to American parents.) As I mentioned above, Canadians are too focused on their southern neighbours and they’ve not looked after their own business. That’s how they’ve gotten to where they are now.
