And I've never heard of Americans having anything against Canadians. I should know, I'm about to marry one. There's nothing particularly odd about having Canada listed separately; there are a lot of Canadians on mostly-American sites, what with having the same region and language and release dates and all. So this is recognized.

Hates? I wouldn't think so. Makes fun of, maybe. A few times I-Gene bristled at something totally unrelated to generalizations or stereotypes or images that I said because he was expecting to hear something like that. This completely puzzled (and hurt) me, because I had no idea that there were any such stereotypes, etc. He knows better now.

Other than saying "Eh" a lot and having a slight accent, I can't think of much. Though even the northern states have this accent. My mom's side of the family comes from South Dakota and they pronounce their o's different. Instead of about it's "aboot". I think there's a few sports rivalries between teams in the US and Canada, but that's all I can think of.

Now im' even more confused... what has Finland to do with it?
Finland don't like canadians?
By the way, people here in brazil do think of a lot of american stereotypes too... Some of the most popular ones are (this really isn't my point of view) the fat white guy, the "gringo"(a rich tourist that speaks whit a LOT of accent) and the vilain of polution that don't care about the world (i guess this one really increased it's popularity after the news about USA not signing the Kyoto stuff...
About the canadian fun-of, when i read it, i instantly remembered South Park cartoon... i guess there was no reason for them do have the heads split in two... but the comments about it were hilarious...

You said that Americans dislike Canadians and French, while in reference to the poll and how Canada was listed seperately. And in response, I said that the person that created this poll was from Finland, not America.Sad Now im' even more confused... what has Finland to do with it?
Finland don't like canadians? Confused

Sorry guys, I had to this once South Park was mentioned. I hope I got rid of all the bad language in it.
