My general impression of Canadian folks is they are like a mix between Merkins and Australians...
I have not figured out why their money has pictures of the Queen of England when they have not been part of the UK for a while...

They don't like us much either...
I can understand french, but not speak as well.
A lot of Quebecois people hate their own country.

Hi America Jr. |
 my husband said the same thing, why the heck do they celebrate the queen's birthday??? A local said "for the same reason it's the 'peace tower' not the 'freedom' tower" i.dunno.know

I love Canada. What I noticed when we visited (this was throughout a good chunk of Canada, too) was how incredibly helpful and polite and nice the people are. I also noticed how every neighborhood and city we drove through was spotless and well cared for. While driving the long, endless roads of nothingness, even at the farms dotting the landscape there was never any rotting, rusting equipment and the houses were in decent repair.
Edmonton was clean and neat even in the downtown areas.

I have only been into Canada for a few miles in Niagra falls and Sioux Ste. Marie.... but I also noticed the dramatic difference in cleanliness.
Those Canajuns shame us.
