Pete way to many Canadians have very shitty attitudes towards Americans and the Government.
It takes a lot to get some of them to admit it as they like to "act" nice and pretend they don't have horrible biases.
I have seen in the last forty years some pretty good back and forth arguments online and actual fist fights at old school big lan parties specifically back when Quake 2 was huge.
The truth is there is very little different than us as far as people go. If anything the Americans I have met exploring the backwoods up here are friendlier than a lot of our own people. How stupid is it to fight with someone who has the same hopes and dreams as we do? I believe we were all put here to try and help one another. If we all took this attitude we would have a much better world. Years ago I met some Russian sailors in Vancouver. They too were a very friendly decent bunch. The point is a country's politics have very little to do with people. Screw the politics and enjoy people's company when you get the opportunity.
As a Canadian I think we should ignore it. Hostility will solve nothing. Dialog and reciprocity would probably prevail.
