No, Fuck yes, and Yes.

Shame on you for lumping Bryan Adams in with those two!

It's a North/South thing.

In California, Northerners enthusisastically hate on the Southern Californians for their ignorance, fakeness and materialism. While the S. Cali's don't even give a thought to the Northeners.

Canadians hate on the USA, yet we don't even think of our neighbors up North.

When I worked retail I hated Canadians who came into the store because they always want to haggle on prices. Always.

I was crazy about the first Canadian I met. Because of her, I have :heart: Canada ever since.

You met Pamela Anderson?

That's not who I was talking about! This girl wasn't artificially enhanced. I like that!

Some of us remember when Canadians risked their lives to smuggle Americans out of Iran during the hostage crisis. Thank you.

...because we can't annex them yet. You can only take so many centuries of rejection without it affecting you.

C'mon Canada...

I would bet money that an overwhelming majority of Americans would say they not only don't hate Canadians but rarely even think about Canada unless they happen to live within driving distance of the border. On the other hand I would bet money that a much larger percentage of Canadians would say they hate the US and everything American so maybe the question should be why do Canadians hate Americans?

Where do we begin?

Actually, I don't hate Americans, I just find that a lot of you need to open your eyes more to the world around you.

As much fun as it is to rag on Canadians, we all have to accept they are a great political friend. An attack on either of us is an attack on both, as Canada has demonstrated a few times. Granted, we haven't been able to repay those favors because well... nobody attacks Canada.
Russia, however... is just itching to change that with the politics and debates over Arctic territory.

But yeah, I'd say the general idea with ragging on Canada is the same as the various US Military branches ragging on each other. Part fun, part just being bullies, but at the end of the day, we all appreciate each other and respect each other as we're all valuable assets and need each other.

Canada is at the end of many jokes, but we don't HATE the canucks. We're like the bestest of friends who pull pranks on one another but wouldn't change a thing in the actual relationship.

I dislike out hat.

As our hat, they are supposed to keep us warm.
We need a new hat

That aside, if Canada's our hat, that means Mexico's our pants. In which case we've basically got a bad case of crabs that's rapidly spreading north...

It's because of the barbaric practice of maintaining an inbred Queen.

I always liked Canada and visited there often when I lived in the Detroit area. With things going south in the US I'm actually thinking of moving up there after I retire. If things go well I might even petition to stay.

You're on very thin ice my friend. Bad mouth hockey and those easy going Canadians will fuck you up.

Actually, I never liked the expansion. It has got to be very expensive to maintain the rink in Tampa. Greedy NHL fucked it up big time.

Let's let Tampa's ownership decide whether it's too expensive to maintain the rink there, mmmkay?

Even in winter the ice is too soft... And don't get me started on that streaked puck so Americans can follow the puck around on tv...

That's because you were doing it wrong.

To drink REAL American beer, is to have yourself a fine Samuel Adams.
I mean, you know it's gotta be a delicious American brew when it's named after a great man. Who brewed beer. For the deliciousness.

Good attempt, poor choice in beers to attempt with. Sam Adams is a good beer, but no macrobrew on the planet beats Portland's microbrews. If you want good beer you either come to Portland or go to Germany or Belgium.

Colorado Micros = Portland Micros = CA micros. thousands upon thousands of great brews down here.

Canada has some good beers much like ours. They suffer from the same reputation in that their mass-produced swill that everyone knows them for is just as terrible as our mass-produced swill.

Portland is the microbrew capital of the world, mate. Our brews > your brews.

I haven't tried any real microbrews from Colorado but I am a big fan of Blue Moon.

But yeah, Oregon is full of great microbrews. Not just Portland, but also Eugene and Ashland. My favorite was the Steelhead Brewery in Eugene.

On the topic of Americans hating Canadians...
You're like a little brother to us.
We love to pick on you and make fun of you and display a general sense of superiority.
But the truth is that we really do care and if anyone tried to mess with you, we'd totally have your back.

Why Canadians hate Americans?
Again, we're like a big brother to you. You really love us, but you're jealous because we're bigger and stronger and richer.

Peace, hoser!
