L-o-v-e the chocolate smarties. Far better than any silly M&M the US has.

I'm sure I could dig around and find a pic of me as a small child wearing Oilers pj's with a 99 on the back, but I won't. Plus I defected and became a Blackhawks fan for about 4 yrs in the mid 90s.

I had a different experience with some Canadians. Are any of you part of the camp or did anyone come across the camp that ripped down a bunch of the fence and had a huge fire in a garbage can? They were yelling stuff like "fuck America" and they were burning American flags. They were located in the very back of the campground where the food vendors were. I was pissed. This was on an American holiday. I am by no means a super patriot or anything but this really bothered me.
On the other hand, I met this couple that was originally from Ireland but lived in Canada. They gave me shots of grey goose while we watched Broken Social Scene. They are the type of Canadians I like.

That sucks.  I don't have anything against Americans, and sometimes I think the whole, 'Canadians are nicer than Americans' thing is kind of silly. If you get to know someone it doesn't really matter where they are from. Good people are good people and bad people suck. I'm sure you can agree that the Canadians you speak of weren't the only ones there being douchetastic, but the burning of the flag thing is a little (a lot) over the top.
What I'm really trying to say is.. We're not all like that, but you knew that already.

YAY! Thanks, Souly! You're the greatest 
I'd offer you something Americans think are tasty, but I don't like McDonalds!

We have enough McDonalds up here. I'm going to fit as much Vanilla Coke in my car as I can though. My supply from when I went to Cali is running out.

My favourite part about going down to states is going to supermarkets and raiding all the candies and cereals we don't get in Canada. Chocolate and Fruity Pebbles FTW

This is exactly how everyone should approach it. I think the problems occur when there is some sort of imaginary competition. It seems like when Americans (people from the United States, Canadians are Americans too) and Canadians get together there is sometimes this notion that there is a competition over who is better. We are all here to have fun, party, enjoy life, and listen to killer chunes.

I disagree. Okay let me phrase it another way. I am here to have fun, party, enjoy life, and listen to killer chunes, and I will do so with anyone else who feels the same way, regardless of what country they come from.

I's sorry, but this sounds either made up, or a serious exaggeration. I've never come across a Canadian that has a serious hatred towards the States, maybe grumpy about having a lower valued dollar, but that's it.
Also were they proudly flying the Canadian flag, whilst burning the American one. Or did you just guess they were Canadian.

Actually, after 5 minutes of thought, it could have been Canadians. There are crazies no matter what country your from. But the majority have no problem with America, my self included.
