Well that is true, BUT.....
As a canadian, I can tell you that the current administration hates all foreign countries (Except Britain). The level of condescednding hatred that comes out of Washington towards us is palpable.
Politically speaking, I can not EVER remember relations between our nations being so low. (But I am too young to remember when Lyndon B Johnson grabbed our Prime Minister Pearson by the suit lapels and physically shook him because Pearson (a noble peace prize winner) would not support Vietnam.
But on a personal level, I must admit that I find Americans to be both an interesting curiousity, some of the most generous people you will ever meet, and like you guys just fine.
