Seriously, though--what makes an American different from a Canadian, beyond geography? Ultimately, we're all just people. Why am I "fair game" simply because of where I was born? It's not like I chose to be born American.

(And yes, Canadians, I know there are differences between us beyond geography, but they are small enough that you are useful in illustrating my point.)
