Depending on where you are, immigrants now outnumber those born in Canada. This is particularly true around Toronto. If you were there, then you are not getting an actual "Canadian reaction" from people.
Even if you are interacting with those born in Canada, note that Canada's main point of identity since Pierre Trudeau was PM is "not being American" and hence disliking the USA. Even amongst Conservatives nowadays, it is only a minority that respects the USA/Americans.

Sad, actually.
