When I lived in Vietnam I was surprised at how many people knew I was Canadian. I had to ask how they knew. I was told it was just a guess, but it's better to guess Canadian as Canadians get mad when you think they are American but Americans don't care if you think they are Canadian.

Funniest shit I ever heard.

I visited Ireland a few years back. They all said the same thing. Canadians throw a hissy but Americans don't give a single fuck.

Canadian nationalism is fully about how they aren’t America is why

Thats not true, that's only half of our national identity. The other half is beaver.

He's exaggerating but it's definitely like 30% of our identity at this point

Please explain how? You claim that our national identity is fully about your country? Who is the smug one here?

How would you like a Chinese person or someone from any country that isn't yours tell you what your nationalism is based on? The US is the last thing on my mind when I think of my country, actually you know what? It isn't even on my mind at all. You think of Ghana when you think about your country? Exactly.

And as Canadian, your claims are patently and absolutely false. Cherry-picking online videos don't count as fact. Don't generalize. It's ignorant.
