Why do most canadians hate Americans?

Question

Seriously not a sterotype. I know of far too many who actually claim to hate the USA. We run you guys, no offense. You have no room to hate us.

I have no problem with Canada, Im Canadian-American. I think its stupid for eithier country to hate the other. Spend more time hating people like the leader of Iran and Osama bin Laden.

Answer 1

Okay, first you don't "Run" us, you insignificant american peasant, and it is that attitude that makes us hate you. And lets be fair, you aren't hated by Canada, your by everyone. You bloody Americans walk around thinking you own the whole world, distributing rules left right and center to the whole world, and then not following them yourselves. For instance, nuclear weapons, you Americans forbid anyone else from nukes, and then demonize the Soviet Union for creating a nuclear threat, when YOU are the only nation stupid enough to use one, in fact two. Of course we must also not forget that when the Indians where mostly beaten,you guys gave them blankets form the plauge hospitals to kill them off. Then there is Manifest Destiny, a uniquely american idea that makes the English look humble and modest, "We are american so god must be on our side." Then there is Andersonville, which was this amazing little american concentration camp, that actually mad the Jewish prisoners from WW2 look fat. I could go on and on, because your stupid, insignificant, stain on the map known as America keeps doing stupid things and if god is really on your side he will destroy your country before you make yourselves look any stupider (if possible)

Answer 2

Americans and Canadians don't hate each other! I would say that there are certainly some Canadians that dislike some American policies and political agendas. Just as there are some Americans that probably dislike things that go on in Canada. But you don't honestly think that everyone in USA acts exactly like the people on Jerry Springer do you? The same is true of the 30million OTHER Canadians and the 300million OTHER Americans who are not making bad comments about each other. One good point in your question/rant though. America has traditionally been Canada's biggest trading partner. Imagine you have a good friend and business partner. Lately that friend has been getting into financial trouble, maybe doing a bit too much gambling, or eating poorly, and not taking care of themselves. You know if they run into problems it could badly affect you too. Do you say something? Or do you just let them keep going down the same road until they have an accident? It's possible to criticize each other and try to guide each other without doing it out of anger or hatred for one another. Now you want hatred, why don't you try living in Israel, Gaza, or some other region where the neighbors hate you for your race, religion, or what tribe you are from. Canadians and Americans are not taking machetes to each other or launching missiles across the 49th parallel yet, are they?

Answer 3

I don't know.



Boston still gets a Christmas Tree from Nova Scotia every year as the Boston Fire Department helped out Nova Scotia during the explosion of 1917. And on 9/11, we were able to land in such places as Gander, New Foundland, and were welcomed into houses to take a shower, grab a meal, or get a new change of clothes. I don't know why the hate exists. We will always be in debt to you guys because of that.



I don't know. Perhaps it's the Canadian identity that part of it is that they're "NOT FROM THE U.S.A." that fosters it. Tough being friends with a country where their indentity was based on not being you.



Whatever. We're the evil U.S.A. people. But we like you.

Answer 4

I think you answered some of your question by an absurd claim like "we run you guys". That's exactly the type of ignorance that Canadians absolutely cannot stand about Americans (some of them anyways).



I think it is that mentality exactly. Americans don't know anything about Canada, but the stereotypes for some reason proceed. There's no talk about how we are America's largest supplier of oil, natural gas, timber, and industrial products.... how we took in all American planes during 9/11 backing up our own airports for weeks.... how we went to war in Afghanistan with the US....



No.. instead you generally hear about how bad of a neighbour Canada is for not giving America even cheaper oil... because we have universal health care and we do things and view things differently.



I don't think the US has been a good neighbour to be honest. I think alot of Canadians agree, and I think if you knew the issues themselves, it would be very hard for you to disagree.



We're basically just tired of being be-littled by a country that barely knows anything about it's own history, let alone our place in the world.



You say that America "runs" us. Where woudl America be without us? Your largest trading partner and ally? I'm sure both countries would survive without each-other... but it wouldn't be all that great.



We basically view American nationalism as having a jingoistic hyper-inflated ego. You need not look any further than your own media. If it's not about America, it's worth talking about. It's very annoying not only to Canadians, but to most foreigners.



I don't hate Americans themselves... in fact... I don't think there's very many differences culturally between us at all. I do hate American ignorance, however.

Answer 5

I think on one hand it is jealousy because they have so many big time opportunities in the U.S., but of course this is before the economic crash. Personally, I don't have anything against Americans, other than the fact they- in a conceited- fashion think they are brilliant. Canadians tend to be smarter than Americans, yet Americans think that college is their birth right, yet still cannot locate Canada on a map. Their sense of entitlement is pretty hilarious sometimes as well, and is definitely coming through with the boarder passport issue. They think that Canadians need a passport, but they don't. Unbelievable. But Canadians aren't perfect, either. We tend to be very two- faced, apathetic and whiney about issues we've sighed and rolled over on previously. So both nations have their negative points and both nations have selective memories. Canadians will stand up on a soap box about not slaving blacks, yet tend to forget that the railroad was built by the Chinese who often risked their lives in dynamite explosions and the Japanese camps during World War 2.

Answer 6

I live in america and have no problem with canada..I do have a problem with morons that call us all stupid and concieted..were not all the same person just like how canada and every other country has ppl that make us look bad..the best answer on this is a hate speech from an idiot that probably loves american movies,music,etc. Ppl like him are the reason countries don't get along..they take the country and its ppl as a whole and demonize their characteristics and that is true ignorance

Answer 7

From my experience, it's because they become very egotistical when talking about Canada, and usually know almost nothing about it. They always say something along the lines of Canada being a cheap knockoff of America, and refuse to believe that some things here are better quality, we have a higher average IQ, lower obesity and crime rates, better rated education system, cleaner air, better healthcare excluding the myth that we have to wait for anything to get done (& much much more); and that the whole country isn't frozen over.



I'm not going to deny that the United States is more vastly more Powerful than us, that we're not a Superpower, and that we wouldn't be able to thrive at all without them and our successful Canada-US relations. But we generally don't crave power, and have no desire to be what the United States is and yet they usually insist that we are jealous. ?????



As long as no one makes ignorant comments about Canada and then refuses to believe me when I correct them / provide them with more accurate facts, I will show the same respect to them.



Otherwise, prepare to DIE. :P



I don't hate the US, there are parts of it that I love.

I just think that's why most Canadians can be ticked off.

Answer 8

You run us ******** you guys hate us so much I go on PSN and people make fun of me and they called me retarded

Answer 9

Lets see if America would one day stop trading with Canada, it wouldn't effect America that much but to Canada the whole economy would collapse, 99% of your resources go to America. So you can we do run you guys no offense, America pop:315 Million Canada pop: 34 million

Answer 10

US does not run Canada, mon frere.... Canada supplies insane amounts of oil, supplies electricity to a very large portion of the country....fruit, grains, meat...



Anyway, Canadians dislike Americans, mostly because they're so arrogant, as you just pointed out by saying that you run Canada. Which is BS. Americans don't bother to learn anything about Canada. All you know is that it's cold and it's north. Some don't even know that.



For the record, it's not always cold everywhere. In the summer where I am, it reaches to above 30 degrees Celsius. We have deserts, rainforests, mountains, plains....



Learn about something before you start complaining about it.

Answer 11

If USA was so great on their own then why did they cry to Canada to help them in the war?.True I don't like america because of how things are over there ( they are obsess about race,more racism,I don't like any president they have,they look down on others,I actually started to dislike them when 911 happen (kick random muslims out of their country,treated every muslim person like dogs,kill the leader terrorist three unarmed sons when they were sleeping,...).



I don't hate all americans but I just don't like the country America.I wish that the canadians didn't help them fight in the war.Some soldier's have already killed Innocent people including babies Driving by in cars because they thought they were terrorists.

Answer 13

I have NOTHING against America, but let me put out a few facts:



1. While vacationing in Michigan, three 7 year old girls called us stupid Canadians. UNPROVOKED.

2. On one episode of "are you smarter than a fifth grader," The women in the show took needed help from fifth graders on what country was north of the USA. Hmmm.... I wonder.....:-p

3. American media makes many small jabs at Canada.



We don't hate Americans per say, we more or less dislike the counrty's inflated ego.



For Heaven's Sake, 7 YEAR OLD GIRLS!

Answer 14

B cuss way got noe helf care mai mayne

Answer 15

well speaking as a well informed Canadian it is because Americans come off as the biggest pricks in the world. If they want other countries to like them, they should stop talking about themselves and learn about other countries.

Answer 16

Yeah. Come back and say you "own" us when you run out of fresh water.

Answer 17

Why are you such a moron?
