Pucky, you know I am just shitting you... and as for USA, I like real Happy Hours (complete with free buffet's)... $1 Heineken's (tip) in the Sportsbooks in Vegas...and lots of other stuff...

I feel if the education system was better in the USA, they would have much better informed populus... as it is, we will have to be content with them being able to name at most 1 province in Canada.

The US education system is superb! My 8 year old probably knows more about Geography than 99% of Canadians.
 
Well then there is one that can identify something in Canada other than a Walmart.

Saulty, it just occurred to me that you guys have 50 states and capitals and other various holdings to try to remember. We have only 10 provinces and 3 territories so I guess we, as Canadians automatically want to learn more about the USA than Americans want to learn about us.

Is it important for an American to know the Canadian provinces and capitals? How can I use that information to benefit me?

I know Canada is to the north of US and its capital is Ottawa and from NHL I know about the cities of Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg. I know where St. John's and Halifax is. Do I need to know more?

That's more than suitable.
 
It's funny how Canucks use a few dummies from the south or Midwest to portray ALL Americans.

I've been to Canada, and as discussed previously I encountered a higher per capita of tards than other countries.

Using common sense I don't use them as a sample size to portray the entire country.
 
I am quite sure, speaking for Canadian GL members, I have met more American people than any American on here has met Canadian people. I mean no harm, I assure you, it is just that we Canadians can be a sensitive bunch and we get offended when we are made to feel like we are not appreciated. :canada:

or Americans generally are not taught respect and curiosity for other cultures or peoples. They are constantly told, from young age, they live in the greatest place in the world etc.. But you know, you could be right, it could be the amount of Capitals thing :dunno:

Not true. For the most part, I would say the vast majority of Canadians do not really care about the Yanks or what they think of us. I think most Canucks basically just roll their eyes, say whatever and move on. Canadians know the rest of the world appreciates them/us. Go travel to Europe, Central America and tell whoever you meet you are Canadian and show them valid I.D. You'll see what I am talking about when you see their reaction. Especially if you ask them if they like Americans. LOL
