I am Canadian and, like most of people, I don't like US foreign policies and the government's arrogance.
...but I really like you guys :)

Our views of the U.S. are heavily influenced by your media and politics... some of which we disagree with. However, many of us know that the average, everyday American is typically a decent person with the same concerns and struggles as we have.
I'll be honest though, nice or not, the stereotype of the average US citizen being less aware of the world outside their borders seems accurate based on my travels down there.
A quick example, I know the geography of the US pretty well, but when an American asks where I am from, the only way they understand it is to tell them what state(s) are below the province.

Canadians are okay. Whenever I go there all I hear is news about the USA. Also the people have a bit of an inferiority complex.

I think Canada is great, but without being nextdoor to the US economy for so many years, it would be a cold, beautiful, lonely ass place.

Generally speaking, I think Americans are more fun. They like to chew the fat and pal around; Canadians are really sheepish and only speak once spoken to. And we love to apologize.

I'm Canadian.
I like the US. I don't really dig Bush -- cliche, I know, but c'mon ... he's a man who's hard to like.
But I don't equate the American people with their leader. I love Seattle, San Fransisco ... nice people. Varies per state as it varies per province in Canada.
People's just people. Except Egypt.
- thanks decisionman. I was starting to feel insecure about this whole "USA" thing.Point5

we love americans, the blue ones anyway.
we have so much in common with the northern states. The bible thumping south...not so much.- Yeah, but we've gut some thumpers. There somewhere, aren't they? Like the prairies ... Maybe just not as gung-ho.decisionman

I don't dislike Americans at all, and in 21 years, I have never met a Canadian that has said that they did. Some comedians may make fun of the U.S, but they make fun of everyone.
In fact, the reason Canada sent troops to afghanistan to help the Americans, was sertanly not because you needed the help, but because enough Canadians argued that we should.

Last time I went in the US, people we're nice, I loved it.
Sometimes the picture I get from tv stations & other medias : Looks like a country populated with a lot of religious-fanatics with guns.
But yeah.. most of the time I just don't care.
