Americans travelling abroad quickly discover the depts of antipathy towards the US government and how differently Canadians are treated and, like the Canadians who wear their flag on their backpack in order not to be confused with the other North Americans, they start wearing a little Canadian flag. When the capital development of a country becomes a by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done. — John M. Keynes
I submit that Americans traveling abroad are a lot more likely to oppose the current government than one might automatically think. Even among soldiers, who have a reputation for being quite right wing (but who are actually just as anti-war as the country as a whole these days), the two candidates who've received the most donations are the two candidates who opposed the war (Paul and Obama).
It's not my experience -- and, granted, I've only been to one country, but I have experienced people of many nationalities abroad -- that antipathy towards the US government typically extends to Americans as individuals. I worried about it, but people abroad aren't stupid. If you're there, it's a pretty good bet you're not the stereotypical American who doesn't care about the rest of the world and isn't at all intellectually curious. They know that.
It's just that the Canadians are pushovers, so everybody loves them. ;) Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.
Whenever Canadians have fought in military combat, they have excelled.
It's just that they believe that fighting should be a last, and not a first resort.
So now they are known as peacekeepers for the UN and they do a damn good job of it.
