What is the opinion of Americans for Canadians ?

Question

:))

Answer 1

Canadians do not hate/dislike nor are they jealous of Americans. Maybe annoyed at some of the jokes that Americans make of them like, how Canadians need to rely on them for military support OR like how they never pay attention to Canada or notice Canada,hmmm then why trade so much with Canada or depend on them for water and resources.

True that Canada's economy is good cause of the trading partnership with the States but america's economy is great cause of the rest of the world who buy your goods.Also the current president has really made the world a much more dangerous place.

This is the other thing that not just Canadians but most people in the world dislike about Americans which is America's interference in international affairs without taking responsibility. For example the Vietnam war, supporting Sadam Hussein in the early years of his rule despite the fact that he was a dictator so as to have more control over Oil (On the Oprah show she showed a footage of Rumsfield being buddy buddy with Sadam Hussein), and more recent the Iraq war, so many of America's allies were against this war, i feel the President should have thought that since so many of their srong allies did not think that the US invading Iraq was right that he should not have invaded Iraq.

Of course a lot of American foreign policy is decided by America's leaders and many Americans have no influence over that just like the citizens of all other countries in the world have no influence or say as to how their governments are running their country but maybe now Americans need to tell their Presidents to be more responsible. After all, i read here on Yahoo that a survey was done in which Americans know the # of soldires killed in combat but not the # of Iraqis killed. Just because the Iraqis are not Americans, does not mean their lives do not matter. Hence the negative attitudes to Americans is cause of America's policies and not Americans.

Canadians like most Americans are incredible proud of their country hence when there is criticism or an insulting remark made about them ( some jokes are insulting) they react by making negative remarks about Americans. Americans react the same way just look at some of the answers given by Americans here on Yahoo Answers. Also Canadians do not define themselves just by the fact that they are not Americans and they do not have an inferiority complex they are just patriotic. Just look at some of the questions i have listed as my source.

Americans always describe their country as the greatest but they share this planet with the rest of us and must remember the world does not revolve around them and the rest of us do thnik our countries are just as great as well.

I know this a super long anwser but i hope it does not offend anyone.

Answer 2

I like most Americans. The average person on the street in any small town in USA, or even some major cities are great. Some of my most enjoyable business trips and vacations have been in Nashville, Boston, Dallas, and Chicago. I love the hospitality in New England area, and the friendliness in the southern states.

It's the politicians I don't especially care for, as they lie to your face about why they are doing things.

But then again, they are like that in Canada too, so we have something in common...

Answer 3

I think of them as people everywhere there are good ones and bad ones, stupid ones and smart ones.  The kind of American that I (and most people) hate are the big blow hards, you know the type "Everything is better in the States" or "This ain't like it is in the States" or "Y'all talk funny here" and the one that drives me right spare is, "Y'all take American money don't ya?"

Answer 4

Can you repeat the question?

Matters on the type of person..so people like Americans and some don't.

Most Canadians think Americans are somewhat stupid because they know nothing about the people around them, while canadians know a lot about America. Not all Americans are like that though.

Answer 5

I haven't met every American so I can't really give you an honest opinion. However, I do have an opinion about their political motivations and that's not favourable.
