My only regular interaction with Americans is here on the DIS. It’s probably the only interaction many of the US DIS’ers have with Canadians as well. We all may be just a little too interested in one another here, compared to IRL.
That truly depends on one's physical proximity to the border. I lived most of my life within 20 miles of the Canadian border (Quebec) and was very much aware of Canada especially in the late 60's, early 70's when Quebec was wanting to separate from the rest of Canada.Fair enough. Most Canadians don't care much about Spain, or Norway or Singapore - I see it as the same thing. And we shouldn't take it personally either. I doubt most Americans know (or care) any more about Mexico than they do about Canada.
All they would ever have to do is have one Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich to know that somethings just stay in the mind.

Oh I know what you are up too.
Huh. Interesting. You learn something new everyday.
My step mother is French Canadian and is from Montreal. There's some BLEEP good food in Montreal. We did one day of just poutine from different places. Not those beans on toast though. Yuck. no.
Everything I had in Canada consumption wise was better because of one thing. No HFCS to be found.
LOL. As proven over the years, my frequent interaction with Canadians is vastly different than my interaction with Canadian DISers......or as my cousins call them, my "Mickey Mouse Canadian friends"My only regular interaction with Americans is here on the DIS.

You folks say "Grade Nine, Grade Ten..." We say "Ninth Grade, Tenth Grade" as well as sophomore, senior, etc. Just depends on the mood I suppose. I think it's mostly the kids who state the grade up until 12th grade which they would say proudly they are a senior. It's the parents that would typically talking about kids and use freshman, junior, sophomore, senior, etc.
The only time I've had Tim Hortons was on my bicycle ride in which we are use to finding food everywhere we go in the US while in Canada we found that we would be riding hours just to find breakfast. It was always Tim Hortons we found usually by no earlier than lunchtime and being starving with 30-40 miles already under us, those turkey club sandwiches were some of the most fabulous foods we've ever eaten. My buddy still talks about those sandwiches. I want to try one under just normal circumstances, not after riding 30+ miles on a bicycle starving for energy because we hadn't gotten any breakfast. I'm thinking they probably will be pretty awful, LOL.Probably, but why would you want it? Honestly, it's inferior to practically anywhere else that serves similar things. Really, really awful in most cases.
