    And 9/10 times when you see one of these posts, it’s from an American (and/or largely commented on by Americans saying “Canada bad!”)

    We spent a hundred years as allies, and then the two dumbest presidents to ever exist poisoned our relationship, and now the only time an American even mentions Canada it’s either to dunk on us for their own satisfaction or to make an argument in their senseless “Left” vs “Right” culture war screaming match.

    I hated it at the time, but I legitimately miss the days when it was all “eh” and “hoser” and “maple syrup”, sure it meant they didn’t know anything about us, but at least it wasn’t this endless negativity.

      I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about, left leaning Americans seem to talk about Canada positively all of the time, in reference to its health care system and generally aboit how they want their country to be more like Canada. The only thing negative they say is in reference how native people have been treated and still continue to be treated there which I think is right.

      I am not from either country and this is just based on what I see Americans online say about Canada/Canadians.

        You mean they mention us when it is politically convenient for them? That is exactly the “Left” vs “Right” culture war I was talking about, you disagreed with me then said exactly what I was saying lol, they only ever mention us to dunk on us (largely the right doing this, because they view us as a left wing country) or for their political screaming match (the left regarding healthcare, or again because they view us as a left wing country).
