hey man I'm Canadian, and not too fond on Yanks meself :D

its not that we think we're better (though according to the UN we are, and have been since the 60's ahem ahem) but that americans are so damned annoying.

again, this is a generalization, and its not true for many americans (i myself am half yank, on me mums side) but a lot of americans come abroad (or even simply to canada to enjoy our lower drinking age and cheap prescription drugs) and expect to be catered to in every way, they act like superstars and expect everyone else to know their customs and follow them to the letter... it gets tiresome.

i could rant for an hour on why americans are generally loathed around the world, for political, cultural, and just plain common sense reasons, but i have to get to class

plz remember though, that often a canadians vocal disrespect for our yankee counterparts is merely a way of showing to the people around us that we are in fact NOT american, because its a common mistake among asians and europeans that we are essentially the same country... dont take it personally :D
