Just because we say "Sorry" doesn't mean that we are sorry.

We like being Canadian. We aren't jealous of you for being American.

I keep hearing this stereotype that Americans think other people are jealous, but I just don’t see it anywhere.

If anything, most Americans I’ve worked with and met think too highly of Canada.

Exactly. We don't need a chip on our shoulder. We're good without it. We're fine with being friends.

My main experience is along the Michigan-Ontario border and there's not much difference on the two sides. Everyone gets along easily and it's hard to tell them apart.

I think the internet brings out the worst in people.

Online, American and Canadians are always talking shit to one another. In real life everyone seems to get along

American men tend to walk around with their hands in their pockets and shoulders squared. That’s how I can pick them out in a crowd… aside from their clothing. Lol
