The claims that "Americans are ignorant against x culture" are hilarious!
We might not know about Canada and the culture, but there's no real reason to. We don't live there... just like those living in Russia aren't too concerned with the culture down in Chile or Columbia.

Saying that you don't know about a culture because you don't live there or there is no reason to, is really no excuse, I don't live in Russia but I know a lot about the country.
Comparing Russians not knowing the Chilean peoples culture, is a terrible comparrisson, because A) the Russians don't live below Chile. B) The Chileans aren't the Russians "ally" on world views.

It's not that AMERICANS are ignorant to Canadians and their culture, it's that pretty much the rest of the world is too. I highly doubt they're teaching Canadian culture over in Italy, France, or Germany.

Americans are ignorant to the majority of people in the world, they are viewed as the bully.
"It's not that AMERICANS are ignorant to Canadians and their culture, it's that pretty much the rest of the world is too."
So is this the American excuse for being ignorant to things going on around them? Pretty lame IMO.
