Don't bet on it. I lived and worked in Toronto for over a decade, and I was always surprised at the amout of contempt that the average Canadian had for Americans. The averageAmerican was seen as stupid, unophisticated, violent and crude. By comparison, Canadians saw themselves in the same light as many Europeans do: culturally and morally superior to anyone raised in the USA.
I am American, but I was living there at the time, so you could say that I "passed" as Canadian. I got a closeup look at this superior attitude -- which I found all the stranger, since Canadians as a group were doing everything they possibly could to copy everything American. Sort of multiple-personality disorder on a national scale.
Actually, sir -- I did nothing except cross the border to head toward Québec. I used to go there every few years to practice my French (although the accent isn't quite textbook French).
Oddly, it was not the French speaking Canadians who were rude the last time I was there. It was the English speaking ones who exhibited the same attitude I've often seen in Europeans who just don't like Americans period. I vowed I will never return to Canada in my lifetime because of this.
I have no issue with your country as long as you stick with the UK in the future. Stick with William and Catherine and we will both be happy. I see no reason to add people who do not like Americans as a member of our union of states.
You sound like a bit of a twat missus. If Canadians, who are world-renowned for their politeness, were rude to you I'm sure you had it coming.
"I'm sure you had it coming."

Yes. I spent time in that city. Your assessment is very accurate.

Good morning to you too!
