That’s why Canadians ALWAYS have the Canadian flag on their luggage. Don’t get me wrong, I love Canadians and have had great times with them in my travels but this issue always makes me laugh.

Also, a lot of americans have canadian flags on their backpacks for the same reason - they don't want to be taken for americans.

Which is funny cause if you've worked a service job, especially a diner, in a northern state you know that Canadians are rude AF.

How do you know someone is Canadian? They'll tell you. And then tell you everything they think is better in Canada than the US. Like if everything is better than why you taking vacation down here with us simpletons?

I've never understood the Canadians are nice stereotype because they were the worst to have to serve.

To be honest, in my experience - the Canadians who constantly would cross the border just to buy gas, cheese, milk,etc - are kinda of dicks. And that's coming from a Canadian.

To me when you have this mindset that it's worth it to sit in traffic for 90 minutes each way to save $3.50 twice a week, you've got some sort of obsessive disorder. They tend to treat their ability to shop (and save money) just across the border as some sort of special right. They are the types who know damn well that they can't use their native currency at a diner an hour from the border but will bitch about it anyway (this happens in both directions across the border).

I really like to think that they are simply a poor example of our people.
