Hey guys, my english class teacher is making us do a project on what americans thinks of canadians, so I thought i'd come here and ask for your opinion on what you guys think of canadians. So pretty much just post whether you like canadians or not and if you think anything they seem to do, is different from what you guys do. Thanks!

I get so annoyed when people say Canadians say this. They say "about" more like "aboawt"

When people say aboot to make fun of canadiens its a bit of an exaggeration. But it is very close, you may just be so used to the accent that you can't hear it.

but nobody says it like boot. nobody.

While I was in B.C. earlier this month a car literally stopped to let me jaywalk in front of him. Canadians are (generally) some of the kindest, most polite people I've ever met.

Im from northern MN so i cant really tell the difference between a Canadian and a Minnesotan. You guys come down here a lot to shop. Like some weekends i will see a dozen Canadian plate in every department store parking lot. We have common interests like hockey, hunting, fishing and share an accent. But for some reason i always feel like you think poorly of Americans.

going from a canadian wallmart super center to a regular american wallmart is insane, everything is SO CHEAP, and SO BIG. seriously, mayonaise/miracle whip jars so big you need a goddamn handle on it, that is excessive, 18 different types of planters mixed nuts, heart safe/low sodium/sea salted/low calorie/natural salt, take a peek on the ingredients, nutritional information and theyre ALL THE SAME GODDAMN THING. you can buy alcohol in yours though, thats cool.

This. Funniest show ever. Canadians are funny people, but when I was there (at least in quebec) they are pretty racist.

I have a hard time believing this happened, but you were in quebec so it's possible.
but yes, we do have dicks in canada too, just significantly less per capita.

Basically every canadian kid that I have met around my age have been the cockiest little fuckers that I have ever met. I don't know what gives them such self entitlement but they think they can do whatever they want and are better than everyone around them.

There's going to be some dicks anywhere you go but you shouldn't make your whole judgement of a country off of one person. Canada's actually full of some awesome people that are usually pretty friendly and easy going.

How were they being dicks? They were fighting. Does that offend you somehow?

well being i was there when it happened and actually know what the fight was about yes, but you know what you win i don't want to talk about it anymore. just saying from my XP people in Montreal do not treat you with respect when they find out your from ny. dose this mean everyone in Canada is a dick no. ive met people i like from canada. im just saying FROM WHEN I WAS IN CANADA that's what i experience multiple times from multiple people.

The only bad thing I've found with our healthcare is when I had to pay the $300 ambulance bill when I didn't even want it.

Canadians are chill.

The general chip on the shoulder towards Americans is a little uncalled for though (its not like you're from Mexico and would give up your asshole to get smuggled into the US.)

Oh that's pretty close to where I live but yeah i've never had any experiences with ambulances so I wouldn't know if I had to pay. I was just seeing if you were from the states and referring to health insurance when you said healthcare plans.

Its funny how in the news in Canada, its always trying hard to keep itself relevant. They report any international events that has the slightest connection to them

If you're around sixteen, they're probably just hockey players. There's a lot of hockey players in my town and 60% of them are douches.

Also football is no where near as big, all the hockey players at my school get the poon and nobody likes the football kids.
