[QUOTE=iiholly]Good call on the maple syrup hatred.

Thats why :D .

Nah, I don't hate Americans just the ones that piss me off. Same with Canadians that piss me off and so on.

I don't dislikes Canadians at all.

1) I've never been to Canada.

2) The one Canadian family I know is really nice.

3) I'm watch Degrassi. (oh yeah, how teen cliche is that)

Remember when Canada caused the big blackout :p :p

I just thought it was sort of like a sibling rivalry. But personally as you all know, I certainly don't hate Americans, quite the opposite actually. ;)

Maybe there was some historical event that sparked it... but my memories of history class are not that great let alone accurate.. :rolleyes:

I was just kidding about the maple syrup thing. I'm sure everyone knew that though. ;)

I personally love Canada. Before my Mom and Step-Dad divorced when I was in college he'd take me on a week long fishing trips on Lake Nipissing in Ontario. It was beautiful up there and I still have some of my fondest memorie in Canada.

A brief history of Canada and America (assuming I paid attention in Canadian History class):

Way back in the 1700's when the American colonies were trying to break free from Britain, they came up to Canada (which was also a British colony) looking for help. The Canadians turned them down, not so much because they wanted to stay a British colony, but more because they were too lazy/scared/Canadian to get involved. So America became its own country, and sort of turned their back on still-British Canada for a long time. THen the war of 1812 came around, which was America trying to conquer all of British Canada. It basically turned out to be a tie, with a bunch of people dead and no land gained at all for either party. Canada became its own country in 1867 (although the Brits still had a lot of influence over us) and things were more or less put behind us.

So for a long time, we were all close friends/associates, but Canada was still seen as either Little America/Little Britain. When England declared war on Germany at the start of WWII, Canada waited about a week before joining in, just to show how independent from Britain it had become. And then the Americans joined sometime after that (I think). It actually worked, and there were a few battles in WWII which were won almost entirely by the Canadian military.

And since then, we've actually been thought of as a country by the rest of the world.

Canada wins imho.

I'm most certainly not the most gung-ho, flag-waiving, American in the world. But I think you may be mistaking America's late entry into WWI as our entry into WWII in 1941 when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. A war which lasted until 1945. Certainly not a late start.

hmm.. if japan was never bombed then they would have kept fighting. who knows what would have happened?

meanwhile, benito mussolini was killed by a mob and hitler committed suicide so i don't know how japan could have won the war alone.

saving private ryan is the best wwii movie ever

whoah we went from car breaking down in canada to world war 2..

If I remember correctly, France was in control of Canada before England, then they took over. Maybe I'm wrong. Go ask LatS.

Thats why the French Canadians hate us. THe brits stole canada from them.

As for the wins Canada had in WWII, unfortunately America owns Hollywood, and makes it seem like they fought the whole thing on their own.
