Love thy neighbour: Americans love Canada more than any other country... and no prizes for guessing that Iran is the least popular |

No surprise that the 12 least popular at the bottom of the list are Muslim or Communist countries.

All too true, sadly enough. Islamophobia is running rampant is the U.S!

Well, if you consider just what countries are on the list, it is only sensible that the countries on the bottom half of the list would be viewed less favorably than those in the top half.

Well its really misleading to generalize, my experience of canadians is thay are often more humble than many Americans. And I tghink that attitude seems to spark resentment in canada.

well according to O'Reilly and Coulter, not sure why americans would want another 33 million commie pinko liberals as citizens of the US.

Ms CYPRAH the former comment was to Im 4Me... lol (your friend Lucien)

Canada will always be Canada.

Unless people like Trudeau get fed up and Quebec secedes as it's come dangerously close to in the past. Don't think it'll happen any more than Texas following through on their threats to secede, but it would certainly be interesting.

The '95 vote only failed by 1.2%, so it's certainly a sentiment that has been held by more than a few Quebecois over the years. Always just been an interesting story of Canadian culture to me. Growing up in Maine I loved jumping over the border to visit Quebec, and my father often worked in Nova Scotia. I've always felt New England would fit in just as well with Canada as it does with the rest of the U.S.

Plus you guys gave us the Trailer Park Boys, so it's hard not to love you.

Justin is a very nice person, and quite smart, but while he does carry the Trudeau name, he isn't his father, his is his own person.

That being said, he really is a neophyte in politics still and really doesn't have the political strength to be anything other than a backbencher who wants to exercise his chops and become a better politician. He needs a few years to mature before he becomes a power, if he desires that.

As for the sentiment, with the conservatives largely being locked out of Quebec, the risk for Harper is that if he ignores Quebec, that the separatist movement will gain strength again and this time, could result in the 'yes' side winning. The difference with the previous referendums? The government in charge in Ottawa doesn't really have any representation in Quebec, so there really isn't a way to drum up support on the 'no' side from the federal level.

The ball is in Harpers court though, he can either work to try and build a united Canada or he can work to split the country up. His past experience however, tends to indicate that he will try to split the different factions of the country up.

And, thank you Canada for sending great music down south for many years.....

Yep Tex, plus game show hosts, actors, newscasters, magicians and comics.
We also export great poets, artists and writers.

AFA poking gentle fun at each other....
When visiting the States, and I hear, " Oh, you're from Canada, EH ?"
I just reply, "Oh, you're from da States, HUH ?"

chris,

actually the US really doesn't have one 'ism' that they end their sentences from, hell I don't even think Canada had one until after bob and doug. A big part of the US says 'you know' after everything. It really depends on the time frame that the person grew up in and also the region.
