canadians have an identity crisis because they had american loyalists settle en masse as well as dealing with quebecois. they have the us as a neighbor so obviously there's going to be overlap and they were a british colony for generations. so i can understand their defensive attitudes toward not wanting to be american. yeah canadians have pricks but who doesn't? i've encountered countless based canadians visiting the states as well as offering me help when i visited toronto and montreal years ago.  i'd rather deal with the dude who keeps it real than a fake fuck who stabs me in the back.
