Yeah, I live in BC and most people are pretty laid back. But if you go to east vancouver you might not think so...

Well actually if you know people there they are very nice my dads got tons of friends there that have a bike shop and most are pretty laid back but when you get into downtown Vancouver, Chinatown, and west Vancouver it's just crazy busy with a bunch of snobs. I prefer east Vancouver over west Vancouver## (I'm from Duncan on Vancouver island)

I'm just interested to know what Americans HONESTLY think of Canada.

I've talked to some people who think Canadians should all be excecuted (They were completely serious too o_o) and some people who wish they could move here.

I'm just interested what Americans actually think :) And please, be brutally honest.
[doublepost=1536431943][/doublepost]The biggest difference between Canadians and Americans is that we seem to care what they think of us, but they don't care what we think of them.

Zombie thread! You just responded to a 9 year old post made by a person who hasn't been to MacRumors in over 7 years.

But it's an interesting topic. I just got back from a several thousand mile (er, kilometer) road trip in Canada. Nice place, nice people. I felt at home.

We're going to Canada for Christmas :)

I can't speak for all Americans, but I think Canada is great and think Canadians are great.

Edit: Sorry. I didn't even check the date to see how old this was. Still, you Canadians are doing a great job. Keep up the good work.
 
Why in the h*ll haven't you guys built a f*n wall? We might come over the border.

After saying "eh", all my Canadian brethren need to repeat "double tap to kill, double tap to kill!" We'll sell you the guns...
 
Day may only have but one road but it’s a goodie. And thanks to Canada the value of my Kraft Dinners stock tripled! Rock on Canada, eh?
 
Still grateful to the Canadians, complete strangers, for taking in my kin who'd meant to be returning to the USA after a great vacation in Nova Scotia... but who were unable to get home immediately after the attacks of September 11, 2001

You know, it wasn’t until this year that I heard that story? Absolutely incredible what they did.

The people of Newfoundland showed the best that humanity has to offer after the world had just witnessed the worse. Amazing people.

I'm not American, but, as a European, I have been exceptionally impressed by the Canadian election observers that I have worked with on a number of missions.

Moreover, their police have also impressed me (the Canadians have served as third country police who worked with the EU in some international police missions, mentoring and monitoring local police forces).

I may have mentioned elsewhere that the (formal) Mountie police uniform (with the sole, possible exception of the fabulous uniform worn by the Italian carabinieri) has to be the single most stylish and attractive police uniform on the planet.

Some years ago, I worked with a Canadian colleague who had been instructed to bring his full dress Mountie police uniform with him (in case he needed it for formal functions, but he was never actually required to don it).

However, as a personal favour to me (well, I had helped him quite a bit with reports he had to write), he did (with much cursing and groaning, he stressed that this thing took more than half an hour to properly put on - the choke collar is uncomfortable, - and the whole uniform - even the boots - had been made to order and individually fitted) actually don the uniform, one morning a few hours before I was due to head home on leave.

We took photographs; he looked stunning. I wasn't the only woman whose eyes were narrowed in quiet appreciation at this awesome apparition. Most of my male colleagues were openly admiring (and envious) as well.

I actually think it's kinda cool the Canadians haven't asked the UK to drop one on us in the aftermath of our 2016 elections. But then I'm such a drama queen when I allow myself to indulge in daydreams about neighbors.
