[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Canadians I know are pretty angry.

Most of the rest of the world is appalled and angry at the US right now, so it won't be that much better in other places either. [/quote]

I travel to Canada for business and pleasure, and I don’t see how anyone can tell the difference between an American and a Canadian. [/quote]

Car license plates if you drive.[/quote]

Other signs - Canadians often:

- sport Canadian flags all over their luggage and backpacks when they travel …

-  add a friendly “eh” at the end of questions and even plain sentences;

- are quick to say sorry while many Americans seem to regard offering apologies as equivalent to slow painful deaths (but to be fair are also quick to say apologies are not needed);

- usually speak French and even their English has an accent (in Quebec anyway);

- are more liberal in general (universal health care/ no bans on abortion/ marijuana is legal/ GTLBQ+ have powerful rights); and

- are much less likely to identify as religious (except about ice hockey).

To me as a non American and non Canadian it is usually easy to see and hear the difference when I meet them both. I like them both and they both have their quirks, like the rest of us. [/quote]
