Well, going back to the original question...I'd have to say my experience with those of the Canadian cloth is limited. So limited that it's useless to make conjecture about their....oh...you said perceptions of Canadians? Fantastic.
I'd say my scrotum involuntarily contracted into my stomach thinking about how cold it must be up there most of the time when I started reading this thread, but I'm strangely fascinated to think about what it would be like to live there. Being in the states, we constantly are barraged with the notion that we're American - both internally and externally. And don't get me wrong, I love my country - but I think it'd be nice to be a little out of the international spotlight all the time...or at least feeling like it the States vs. fuck all. The thing I like about Canadians, in my perception, is exactly the notion of just sort of chillin out a little bit...and being socially liberal y'all seem to have some very nice notions of social ettiquette. I'm a Southern male...yeah, we hold doors...but we've been known to do some pretty nasty shit down here.
Other Americans are going to want to strap me for saying this, but sometimes I think it'd be nice to have a little tighter political interactions with our fellas to the North...maybe it's just frustration, but at times when we start to get perhaps, a little brash...(cough:Iraq:cough) it'd be nice to have someone perhaps expound a bit on the virtues of not being quite so headstrong. I think in the Hegelian sense of thesis, antithesis, synthesis : communism and capitolism are bound to blend at some points, and I occasionally wonder if y'all aren't a little further along in that respect.
And I rather like the idea, nominally, of having the French district in Quebec...but I know it's caused a shitload of problems too.
