How do you Americans like Canada? :P

[SenoritaBella]

You sure they didn't mean North America the continent? When I hear it, I understand it to mean Canadians and Americans. But if I hear, someone refer to "our neighbors north of the border/south of the border", then I know they are referring to Canadians/Americans respectively,

i find it funny you use the term "American" to identify US citizens. Usually, Canadians love referencing "North America" as a way to identify Canada. Now, whenever I hear the term mentioned, i know they aren't talking about the US... they are most likely referencing Canada.

I only go to Canada to visit my in-laws. I live in Québec. (I'm only *mostly* joking.) I moved from Oklahoma, which has a very low cost of living, and I find groceries to be rather expensive here. The Québec taxes are pretty outrageous. Housing prices are very reasonable where we are, but seem very high to me in other places (depends on where you lived in the 'States, as housing is SUPER cheap in OK). I was quite pleasantly surprised by the brands available here (my hair products in particular, as I have long, curly hair and I've perfected my product combo, haha) and the selection in the stores. We're in a somewhat remote region (Saguenay/Lac St-Jean), it's about two hours straight north from Québec City), and the population of the region is perhaps 200K (seems like a lot less, it's a BIG region), but I can find most of what I want here.

Wow very interesting thoughts about Canada...! Cool!! As a proud Canadian, I've always been curious what people from other countries think of Canada

About grocery stores: probably that's because you're in Ottawa (which is somewhat a smaller city?!
In big cities like Toronto, the grocery stores and supermarkets are pretty complete, I'd say...

do they sell chocolate chip/peanut butter granola bars in toronto? i'd be curious to know whether it's just an ottawa thing, or if it's actually a canadian thing.

yes, so do i, just whenever i hear it used, it's usually referring to Canada only, not the entire continent.

And then there are those that live North of the border...and then North (actually, North West) of the border again-
Alaska!

WTF? Couldn't we (U.S.) have traded something to Canada for this? LOL!

Sometimes Americans like to call Canada as America Junior. Or the US 51st state or even the more vulgar terms. America's Prostitute.

Sometimes Americans call Canada the `peaceful neighbor'. Which is soooo true.

I bet most Canadian's can't even spell the word `war'.

Ha ha. Funny. Guess we didn't know War of 1812 or WW1 and WW2. I guess it is due to poor education on the subject matter in school.

Americans are very very patriotic. You see American flags everywhere.

You don't see many Canadian flags every where only at schools and government buildings in Canada.

Don't understand the bumper sticker thing in US either. Don't they know the "I love obama" bumper sticker destroy the resale value of the car.
