After the War of 1812, General Adamson Tannehill, friend of the then deceased George Washington, was approached by General Smyth who was organizing an invasion into Canada. Adamson Tannehill essentially told General Smyth, that if General Smyth could gather enough forces, then he, Adamson Tannehill, would support his invasion into Canada. Long story short, General Smyth was unable to organize enough men.

Don't get me wrong, I love Canada and I just applied for citizenship but I do wish Canadians had a better attitude towards the US. In university, I'd get annoyed with people in school who would say things that are completely wrong about the US's politics, culture, history, etc. I don't have a problem with criticizing the US and its problems I just wish that Canadians could stay focused on their criticism. I'll be the first person to say what is wrong with the US but it's just as ignorant as when Americans assume things about Canada that aren't true. All in all, I love our North American culture and wish that both sides got to know the other side more accurately. I did a whole paper in grad school about continentalism and how this could benefit both Canada and the US. If the general population were to understand each other better it would be something ideal that people might be able to support.

As a French Canadian, I can tell you a few things about Suzette : - Suzette is not even a common name in Quebec. It’s a classic « french from France » name. - Suzette has a French parisian accent, not a Quebec accent. - The spitting she did was not Québécois. So that’s my take on it :) Edit : Wow, didn’t see the replies. Her accent is maybe not Parisian, but certainely sounds more like stereotypical Metropolitan French accent. Also, I said Suzette is not a common name here, I didn’t say it doesn’t happen. Also, when I said spitting is not Quebecois, what I mean is it’s not in our culture. We don’t express ourselves like that. I just don’t know how to explain it.

I think Paul Barbado said it best. “Americans are like teenage boys, they’re opinionated, energetic and confident. Where as Canadians are like teenage girls, they’ll be polite to your face but talk crap behind your back.”

Next time those pesky and persistent Canucks try that, you have to get mean, you just come back with "Us Americans have something you Canadiens will never have, a real summer." If that doesn't work, then you have to play rough and hit them with a dirty low blow, ask them if they think a Canadian team will win the Stanley Cup in this century. That will send them back north to their Timmy's, Canadian Tire and poutine like all get out for sure, eh.

Having lived in Calgary for a decade, I heard French on the streets not infrequently, knew francophones personally, and visited a town in Alberta where few spoke English at all. There's quite a large francophonie in Canada outside Quebec.

I find it interesting when you said Canadians are always comparing Canada and America and how Canadians are always trying to take the moral high ground. Honestly, in the US, Americans overall don't really think about or compare themselves with Canadians, hardly ever! Any differences are rarely if ever, discussed in general conversation. Its just not something that is on our minds. Also, Americans never say anything derogatory about Canada or Canadians. Most Americans assume that Canadians are very much like Americans in many ways, just colder.

Americans never insult Canadians. We typically don’t talk about others in an unkind way. Canadians constantly say derogatory things about Americans. Then in the same breath, they talk about how polite and nice they are compared to Americans. Makes no sense.

I grew up in Australia with the metric system, but I have older siblings that grew up learning the imperial system. As the youngest child, this inadvertently made me the “converter” for the family. This also has resulted in me having a mix of the two systems in my head. Realistically, I think it’s a generational thing and as the older generations pass away, we will have more and more metric fluency. Although, people coming to live in Australia that grew up in a non metric country will possibly keep the mix of systems alive for a while longer. Does anyone else have to assist family members whenever weights and measurements are require converting/translation? I’d be interested to hear your story.🙂🐿

As an immigrant, I can confirm this! My family was stuck in the Middle East and we migrated (quite extensively and painfully) to Europe, waited an extra 3 years in order to come to the US instead of going to Australia or Canada 😂 but to be fair 90% of our family (both sides of family) were in the US.

@@manda8512 If I'm reading your comment right...that's not exactly the same thing. As humorous as it was delivered, Khan's statement was that he would continue to risk death in Cambodia because he saw no point in leaving a communist controlled country only to embrace one that was ruled by socialism (soft communism). Your family, while safely sitting in Europe, chose to migration shop for the best possible outcome, rather than take refuge in the first safe country that they came to. Khan's choice was admirable because it was based on self sacrifice, your families less so.

@@1966johnnywayne I’m from Iraq. My dad was drafted to the first Gulf War but we waited/saved money for another 3 years in order to go to Europe and wait for America instead of applying to Canada/Australia from Iraq. There was always a sense of looming doom and fear because Saddam just loved wars and we were worried another might start soon and that my dad would get drafted again. I also have family still in the Middle East who stayed in war torn countries waiting for America instead of moving to safe European countries, Canada or Australia. My story isn’t 100% Kahn’s, I was just adding my similar experience. Also, being an illegal immigrant in Europe does mean that you get deported if you’re found out so it wasn’t that risk free.

European perspective: I've been to Toronto for three months. Nearly every single person under 40 I met was an ass. But in a very peculiar, Torontonian way. The closest thing to compare it to in Europe is teenagers. Rude and emotional with a lot of unearned confidence. Even service personell. It's not "upfront" rude like Germans who are blunt about what they think. It's an uncooperative kind of rude.

French people are in France. Canadians are French speaking and English speaking. Most speak both languages with zero accent and have names that wouldn't match with their heritage. For example I've seen people mock French speaking Canadians to people who have English sounding names with no accent only for them to find out they come from the French speaking parts of Canada. Also, the west was originally settled by the eastern French speaking Canadians which then saw the English/Scots/etc come in afterwards. Language doesn't determine our ethnic origin or heritage.
