Haha, it amazes me that both sides see the others so differantly. American Empire? Well, unless that means sea to shining sea, I don't know what empire you're talking about.
The biggest source of the resentment from my opinion, is we probably know very little, if at all about canada. As a whole that is. I mean, they are never in the news, they are not a world power, and they never do anything disagreeable. Kind of like the book nerd at school. Real nice kid, best intentions at heart, polite, courteous, the teachers best student.
But we know nothing about him, and because of that, and the fact that he's toothless, the rest of us pick on him. We can all agree that's wrong, but it happens none the less.
Haha, imagine the differance in WWII if the japs had tried to roll through canada rather than pearl harbor. And roll they would have.
That said, I'm sure Canada is a great place to live. But I'm also sure the Culture isn't much differant than where I'm from.
