I imagine it's at least in part due to the American bashing that is ever-popular with people. A lot of Canadians, lacking a distinct cultural identity, identify themselves by being "like Americans, but better" so there's probably some kind of backlash among the prouder Americans (Americans? Proud? Well I never...).
P.S. While it's good to like the country in which you live, I hate nationalism and patriotism and they can go fornicate with each other for all I care.
