@@ViktorRotkiv98 Canadian Eh?
Exactly!
The USA confidently invaded Canada, were pushed back into the US, then British and Canadian soldiers marched into Washgington DC, razed the entire city, and even burned down the White House xD
They didnt burn the White House. They where close. Thats why the White House is well White they tried they failed.
+Ty G. No the whitehouse used to be pink but then it got burned down by the solders
+Ty G. umm, you do know they DID burn the original down and a new one was built....right?
Ty G. They did burn it down, it had to be reconstructed. They even stole many of the President's personal possessions before doing so.
Yes, the British did burn down the White House in 1814. It was partially in retaliation to the US burning down Canada's parliament building.
A better question is why isn't Alaska park of Canada
Because America bought it
CoasterCrab - Sadly, Canada missed out on that. The U.S.A. bought Alaska about 3 months before Canada became an entire country coast to coast. I think the Russians have been kicking themselves ever since about selling Alaska so cheaply. It's now worth many billions of dollars !
CoasterCrab As a Canadian, I never understood that. It wouldn't make sense historically, because people would have to go through Canada to reach it by land. So, did no one think "Hey, let's colonize this land in between"?
Jamie Diamond I know that but it still seems really weird
Alaska was part of the imperial Russian empire, and the USA bought it.
I SAY WE RENAME THE USA AS SOUTH CANADA! WHO'S WITH ME?

I can actually tell you how/why that happened. At first, I was considering having the quill write everything, however, it really looked terrible so I scrapped it. I wrapped the Q for an O so I could draw in the stick in a separate pass. Obviouslly I forgot to put the Q back when I scrapped the idea.
+Soliloquy Thanks for the clarification.
Canada is quite happy to be a neighbour to the united Sates of America and quite happy to continue to be independent as a country
Dave Winch Commonwealth=/=independent
Daniel McDonough it actually does
Trump salt mining Inc. Why is the crown the head of state of the Commonwealths?
Daniel McDonough Canada isn't even Commonwealth. The only thing that we share with the UK anymore is the Queen, who has 0 power over here anyways (it's just tradition). So yes, we are very much independent.

I agree
america is older and the first country in north america to be independent we should be united as won not still stuck under the british +reed howard and america is still the world police force washington DC is a better capital
it was russia who give the usa alaska i think the reasons why they didn't give it to the british is because they had a war not so long a go and the usa offered to pay for it back in 1867

TheIceman567 Upper and Lower Canada existed. It was a British Colony, technically, that was brought into a war by the British and with America, but still fought as a separate entity. it's not.much different than what happened in WWI. Canada was brought into a war that had nothing to do with it by Britain because we were still techncally a British Colony. Wasn't till after WWI that Canada began to become a real Player internationally. At any rate it was troops from Upper and lower Canada that burned the white house, not British landed troops.
DuckStarDestroyerOfWorlds Thank you. Yes, exactly.
DuckStarDestroyerOfWorlds Huh? Canada was a colony in 1812 you're talking about two different things that didn't make any sense.
TheIceman567 that's uh... literally what I wrote up there. Canada was a colony in the war of 1812. Upper and Lower Canada. Brought into the war of 1812 by the British Empire, while it had no real interest in the feud.
il save you 5 minutes. AMERICA LOST THE WAR OF 1812
why didn't you mentioned that we burnt your Whitehouse down?
They burnt the future Toronto, but no one else in Canada seemed to mind.
+Insight Messenger glad you hate whites. don't know why this triggered you to say that but ohh well

Canada a better place: if u want to raise a family
USA a better place: if u wanna save and make money.
thats how i see it as a Canadian.
Takashi basically, canada is more women friendly while us us for men who wanna earn?
Well I mean socialism and an economy in the shitter would help with that
If ur a women than ur born with more benefits and opportunities than a male here. As a women u get paid higher wage than men for the hours worked, you get more time off for personal reasons, u get more opportunities to get jobs to meet quotas, you also get more bursary for education and STEM, U have more social and healthcare funding to use, you get to retire earlier to receive pension than males, ur also less likely to die at workplace or commit suicide. And if u get divorce even if the women cheated, she will be entitled to her children, the house, and alimony for life. Basically Canada is a great place to raise a family that stays together because of the huge tax breaks and social services u pay in the taxes, but for a single guy its horrible because you will pay into a system much more than u will get back. for the single women its not that bad because u can still use most of the services.
US: also has high taxes for single person, but at least here the opportunity to make money IS FAR GREATER!!! there is also much much more JOBS and cost of living is cheaper! So if u are a single man or a women its best to be here.
I raise hundreds of children and make tons of cash and I live in USA. Guess Canada is worthless now
You may make more money in the U.S. when young but in old age healthcare costs will bankrupt you!

So much unexpected hatred, & most of it towards the USA. How very sad! Luckily people know that all it takes is a few people to ruin the reputation from either side, so don’t take it too seriously.
I figured out that scrolling down may be dangerous when it comes to keeping the mind sane. On the other hand, when I read the title of this recommendation, something in my head immediately responded "Because: even though life is hard and full of traps, sometimes, good things happen."
Zeno squared, bRad bIll bUsch - how ironic, since there is more freedom in the American bill of rights than unfortunately what Canadians (don’t) have on their law books, and sadly Trudeau isn’t helping.

Not true
True. I am from Poland and I know people from many countries. Canada is well known as friendly and peacefull country. If you have T- shirt with „ i am from Canada” and Canadian flag you are safe in huge number of countries. If you have T- shirt with „ I am from USA” and USA flag, you are safe... in Poland. ONLY. BTW: I invatie both allies, from USA and from Canada to my country. I have many internet friend from your countries.
zepter00 when Polska was a member of the Warsaw pact Poland wasn't a allie of USA and Canada
But you watch once Poland becomes a full member of NATO putin will start a war. At the moment Polska is friendly towards Nato .
Newell 01 not the Middle East. ISIS, Hezbollah, Boka Haram, Hamas, the Taliban, and Al Quaeda all despise us and have huge influence in that region.
Poland was in Warsaw pact because USA and UK sold Poland and central Europe to the soviets in Yalta and Teheran. Google it.
It's a tradition that the first foreign visit by a US president is to Canada: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_visits_to_Canada That's how close the USA believes its relationship with Canada is. Now... that doesn't mean Canada is our 51st state, but it certainly means the USA would much rather Canada continue to be a friendly neighbor than not.
Oh yeah and, we kind of need your airspace to blast Russia and those commies, but you won't complain if the needs be.
Nope it's the IGA between the U.S. and Canada for FATCA that means Canada is the 51st state of the U.S. Know your history and defend your sovereignty Canada! ALL Canadians need to know what is going on right now. American laws now govern Canadian banks on Canadian soil and they can and now are freezing and seizing money from Canadian citizens. This is not a joke and not an exaggeration. Do not put your heads in the sand.
Dark Reins FATCA has nothing to do with incorporating Canada into the USA. It's just that US citizens who spend over a year abroad don't have to pay US taxes for that year. So, as you can expect, many US citizens who live in Canada with wealth in Canada are not reporting their wealth. The IRS still wants to know your income and wealth, it's just you don't have to pay.
That is not correct. U.S. citizens must always pay taxes to the U.S. on their world wide income no matter where they live either permanently or temporarily. FATCA is a U.S. law of compliance that Canadian financial institutions must abide by. Essentially, if the U.S. changes that law with amendments it takes effect in Canada as immediately as it does in the U.S. The Canadian government has no say in approval. Also, FATCA can effect anyone the U.S. feels is taxable (U.S. persons), it is not limited to U.S. citizens.
Your response suggested that you have no idea what FATCA is really about.
Dark Reins Nuh-uh. You live abroad over a year, and you're exempt from federal taxes for that year.
I'm glad we arnt part of the US!
still trash. just a different country

Canada is the second largest country on this planet, so why do most map-clowns display it as being smaller than the US......?
Scott Fuller it actually doesn’t since this type of map (Mercator) tends to make countries next to the poles look bigger, just look at Greenland that has a size of 2 million and something squared kilometres, but that on this map it is bigger than Brazil (8 mi and something squared kilometres)
Luís Felipe Faria But even on the globe, Canada is bigger, because *it is*
Don't bother yourself with the U.S. americans. They only learn about their own history. So it's an indulgent thing on their side. That's not their fault, due to the educational system there.
Brazil, without counting Alaska in the territory equation, has the same size of U.S. Continental U.S. = Brazil, in terms of territory.
Mark Tirante You Americans also say that to Montana
Mark Tirante Montana is a US state. It borders Idaho to the west, North Dakota and South Dakota to the east, and Wyoming to the south. America’s nickname for Montana is something like ‘The Least Important Place’. It’s an idea that is getting popular that Canada should annex Montana from the US in exchange for 1Trillion Dollars

What did he say wrong, it was a war with the British, and Canada was a legitimate military and political target at the time
SuperYoshiFan10090 Studios it wasn’t a stalemate. To be frank the Americans lost. Their goal was to invade British North America and to “save” the loyalists from British rule. We didn’t want to be American so we fought back. Not only did you fail to achieve your goal, we brunt the White House to the ground
SuperYoshiFan10090 Studios
It's considered a stalemate only in America. Everywhere else teaches that 1812 was a failure in that US did not obtain (or annex) any British North American territory or really accomplish any strategic goals.
Maybe you think it's a stalemate because you "stopped the British" and they couldn't retake the American colonies... but you're forgetting that France was the real threat at the time, forcing British forces to focus on the European continent. Wars on opposite sides of the world did not make sense considering the US was not a valuable asset compared to the Caribbean or India...
lmao how could it be a stalemate if washington got invaded? "dumbass"
No the US set out to capture Canada but failed. The President's house,
The Capitol was burned and Washington sacked. The President ran away.
Canadian farmers, Indians and a handful of British soldiers defeated
the American army and won the War of 1812.
Vietnam and Korea were also US failures.
why is the United States not part of Canada
Because the U.S. was more powerful.
Person Human why didn't they took Canada then
Lost war of 1812 xd
mef j Because they weren't *that* powerful.
love this lol, US isn't part of Canada because US is to powerful, well why isn't Canada part of the US, because they weren't that powerful. The thing is Canada had British help but since they did get down to DC they probably ended up just saying sorry and giving the land back.
We Canadians do not want to be part of the US at all. We even fought wars back in 1812 and we part of the British Commonwealth and want to keep it that way.

Queen Elizabeth II is the head of my country and we are part of the British Commonwealth so we have closer ties to Britain than to U.S. I grew up, literally, on that border between Canada and U.S. The border was a river where I lived, but in distance it was no more than a two lane highway. When we looked out of our living room window we could see Minnesota. They're crazy - they like fishing, hockey and curling - geez they're just like us!

Brad Pike um we left the war we didn't lose it
Leif Harmsen if now War come , i think United States easy Win Canada
Leif Harmsen no we didn't because no body won the war but I consider it an American victory because we stopped the British invasion
StarWars Republican : the US invaded Canada and failed. If the US had won Canada would be part of the US but it is not.
Because there just has to be at least one sane place on every continent.
Bob Aldo oh shoot I can’t get a continent now
So the US isn't sane? Compared to canada, it should be.
San Francisco is the only safe place on the continent.
@@bkmyland6976 yeah because poop, needles and trash are so safe.
Kenny Ben, lol yes. my point was sarcastic but you got it.
You can take Bieber back... We don't want it. Yes I said "It".
Um we don't want it either. When we gave you Bieber he was just a cute kid on RUclips and you Americans fucked him up. So now you can keep him
CanadianSimmerJon We didn't do anything to him. He did it to himself. TAKE HIM BACK!!!
BigDaddyBeatzMe - Lol. We don't want her back, either. She acts like a female dog in heat sometimes. Yes, I said ' her '.
Mike12522 It* And just take it, it was your's in the first place.
BigDaddyBeatzMe - Yes, it was ours in the first place. But sometimes we all have useless garbage around that we want to throw out. Or perhaps something gets broken, or wears out, or we get tired of it. Or maybe we're given a present that we never really wanted in the first place. Bieber's sortof like that ...

"We gave America most of its best musicians"

The US didn't capture Canada because they didn't bring supplies. They thought that the Canadians would welcome the Americans as liberators (gee I bet we won't make that mistake again...) and help them out but they were surprised by the Canadian loyalty to Britain and were forced to give up due to not having food and such.
It also didn't help that the U.S. commanders were absolute MORONS. They fought among themselves more than with the British, and had the tactical and strategic mentality of a bull moose.... (It worked out for the best anyway, as we have a trusted ally. We may bicker from time to time, but trust has existed for neigh on two centuries now.)
It also pointed out the failures and decencies of depending on a "well regulated militia" compared to a professional Army.
I am not joking I say we Invade them again... they are intentionally meddling in our Politics, and that is an Act of War... #InvadeCanada
That is only a symptom, of the real problem, which is the large number of traitors to the constitution, in the power base of D.C.
+Randy Ross Left wing Canadians are almost all Anti-American so yeah they do like trying to interfere in our domestic affairs, like all fascists do. Same with Mexico.
I call it the US or The States I never call it America some older people call the US "the Boston States". And it seems lately young Canadians (Millennials) are using the term "America" to refer to the US. And we Canadians don't say "Native Americans" we say First Nations.
That's interesting! I didn't know that Canadians called Natives, "First Nations" I think I like that better.
I don't know how it is in Canada, but I don't think using "America" to mean the US is exclusive to Millenials. Plenty of GenX'ers and Boomers call The States, "America".
im Native, we say native. sure WE are the first nations but WE are also Native
There's no such thing as native Americans, they're Asian.
And America is the A in U.S.A., so it's a shortcut.
+mountainguyed67 uhh. No dude... They're Native Americans. You don't call Europeans, African because of the ancient migrations.
Alex Romo. Europeans were in Europe long enough to take on their own characteristics, the Asians were not in the Americas long enough to take on their own characteristics. Even Chinese laborers coming to the U.S. in the late 19th century knew the "Indians" we're Chinese. Look it up.
As a Canadian who has gone through the Canadian schooling system this is defined accurate and correct but in less detail than what we learned over a few years
Why is China not a part of Alaska?
Why would China be part of Alaska? Because Innuits have a heritage that ties in with the Chinese or Japanese? Alaska is part of Canada or atleast is the same landmass so why is Alaska not part of Canada, and why is not all of Canada Chinese? Same difference. Why is Hawaii and Puerto Rico part of the U.S. Same question different answer.
I assume you mean why is Alaska not part of China? Because it was originally Russian and was gifted to the Americans in 1867.
+jacobdot456 "Gifted" for the paltry sum of 7.2 million dollars (about an eight of a billion adjusted for inflation).
Correct on the year, but the Americans bought Alaska from the Russians for like 7 million dollars
+SRV. 123 That's what I meant, jesus
...what a strange question
It's not that strange, and in fact, it's something I've always wondered. The entirety of North America used to just be British territory, so the question of why the American revolution didn't liberate the northern half of the continent, and why the two countries ended up separate, is a valid one.
+Forthelemon it is simply racism,and segregation. when America was still brittsh territory Canada was a freach speaking and English and Americans down north south weren't allowed to live in Canada.
5:00 was a papers please reference lol.
Most of the north america belonged to the french and the british only a tiny part around maine belonged to the americans so most of america would have been Canada as most of it was discovered by canadian fur trappers but the queen of england gave away all the land that is the usa today except alaska to stop their constant whining.
D mac you are seriously misinformed
the real question is, why does Canada look so small compared to America in the thumbnail
Dean Andre I know, it's just perspective because the map is stretched closer you get to the equator.
Canada and the USA are almost equal in terms of landmass, Canada just has a lot of little islands to the north.
Because that's its size in real life.
Land Lock in the Mercator Map (the Mao that completely fails in terms of size) shows Greenland, Canada and every country that's far away from the equator.
Dean Andre,because Canada is the fit brother,while America is the fat brother (just a joke)
Why isn’t Gucci part of Louis Vuitton 😂
If you want to know why the US is not part of Canada. Look at what's going on in there elections. Sheesh.
LOLLLL
The video title says why is Canada not part of the US, not the other way around buddy
Stephen Ruffino Yea, RUclipsrs have made other mistakes as well.
Yeah, America's about to have a president as bad as the Canadian prime minister :p
Cretaal Are you suggesting that voting on the prime minister solely based on his position on marijuana and overlooking his total lack of abilities wasn't a good idea? Sounds like the US if following that trend.
That question just sounds stupid - why not other way around? Why isn't US part of Canada? This sounds a bit imperialistic to me.
And the other way around is less imperialistic?
Vitalis What do you expect about USA. Imperialism, Imperialism and more Imperialism.
Because America was a country first
SWIRLY4LIFE
That's like saying "Oh I'm born first, so I now own your life."
So no, doesn't work like that pal
Fair question. Basically Canada didn't mind being part of the british empire and the US did. Passed that had things gone a little differently in the war of 1812 Canada easily could've become part of the US or the US could've once again become part of the british empire. Both sides came very close to defeat.
the real question is why the U.S isn't part of canada
Americans would rather be Russian than Canadian.
What are you implying Kreepis?
Jean Loup T sure
Oh heck no, americans love canada, are you dumb?
MRrgv r u sure?
Why isn't Argentina part of Zambia? Why isn't Brazil part of Yemen? Why isn't Chile part of Xylophonia? Why isn't Denmark part of Wingnutland?
Deep questions indeed.
Is wingnutland a real country? Edit: no. That's disappointing.
@@MrBmantheman is a joke R/wooshhh
it's the other way around "why isn't America part of Canada" because British north America was formed into 2 after the American revolutionary war

Why is Austria not apart of Germany?
Why is New Zealand not apart of Australia?
Why is Chile not apart of Argentina?
All equally good questions.
I actually did Why is New Zealand not apart of Australia? I didn't do it very well, but I did do it. (the others are on the list)
Seamus Aindriu O'Coran more like why not Uruguay is part of Argentina...Chile is actually quite different from Argentina but Uruguay is remarkably similar, they have almost an identical accent when speaking, they both have the Gaucho culture and their flag is almost identical too at least in colours and elements ...Chile is a little different, more mestizo, they speak with a different accent among other things.
Brazil also has Gaucho culture in some of its southern states
Father Soxzen Excalibur yes but Brazil speaks Portuguese and it's a very different country ..my point was how incredibly similar Uruguay and Argentina are.
Chile has too many Amerindians that's why Argentina doesn't want them. As many Latino America s know Argentina is VERY proud of their mostly European ancestry
Canada and the US are close partners. But when the US slung out Barbara Streisand we were offended, so after some effort we sent Justin Bieber South to The US. You guys started it!
and You 'll can have him back.

Jokes on us Canadians, Americans discovered socialism in Russia & Canada decided to use it as a blueprint to run our own country.
1:57 Why “Ouebec”?
Well according to what the US is like right now. Why "should" Canada be part of the US. I'm happy being part of the commonwealth.
Neon Maple. Communist socialist country
Yomama RBX the Middle East was a hellhole since the ottomans
Jan loves many we aren’t commies
The US is as great as it ever was, and you WILL become an American. We will be forced to unite for our survival.
Who would want to be a part of what is happening in the UK right now. “Happy being a part of the commonwealth”, well good for you, but you speak for yourself. One only has to look at the great replacement taking place in Europe and especially the uk to see where we are headed as Canadians with jihadi Justin in charge. Too many of my fellow Canadians are soft, weak, socialist scum, far to the left. Your only purpose is to undo the great achievements of our western culture.
You don't know a fucking thing about politics. Canada is nowhere near socialism. It's some progressive liberalism bs
To be honest I like the idea of our countries being seprate. I mean Canada is a great ally to us and should be able to live the way they want. So we need to just leave them be, but that's just my opinion. 😐
Avatar Korra and if you don’t we will pee in your maple syrup

Why? You live in a socialist shithole with no freedom. Canadians should wish they were part of the U.S especially since they have a shitty communist leader.
Pyro240 how? America doesn't have bad gun laws unless you are in California. Citizens being able to protect themselves is good. Criminals get illegally imported guns which get sent down south after that gun has been used in a crime
If I had to choose:Live in the USA or in Canada,I'd choose Canada.
@@johnperic6860 USA has higher gun violence, more racism, Trump for president, no national healthcare to name a few.

@@johnperic6860 I am aware we pay for the NHS in tax. However, I'd rather pay tax for free healthcare than put 100 billion into the military like America to fight the Middle East for oil.
@@johnperic6860 because canada is generally more peaceful and more liberal than the states, which appeals to a lot of people. of course, canada has its own problems, but they're not as bad as the states. when's the last time you've heard people on the internet complain about how shitty of a place canada is?

This comment wins the internet this week ;] nice1
Vincent Senecal lol
Haha C'est vrai. Don't forget there were a lot of acadians living in Canada, (more proportionally than in the past). Many of them with the persecution got out the maritimes provinces moving back to France, Louisiana, Québec and even Haiti. A lot of french ontarians has its roots in the acadian people which makes not only Les Québécois as french canadians.
Thank God for the French!
jacob kobald the real Canadians
because in1812 we(Canada) burnt the Whitehouse down. nuff said.
love how u gloss over that fact
+Zabatsue You failed history didn't you...
Yes but the first battle was in 1811
The British burned it down as a retaliation for America's invasion of Upper Canada.
" we(Canada) burnt the Whitehouse down" We all know Canadians are badass. The have proved that in Iraq and Afghanistan. And WW2. But as I said earlier, we in the USA still can't forgive you guys Justin Bieber. Neil Young is OK.
Me: watches videos bout Canada
Also me: isn’t Canadian
Same but I’m Canadian but watch stuff about the USA
Can you take bieber back? Please?
Nah you keep him

*WHERE 👏🏽 YOU 👏🏽 ARE 👏🏽 FROM 👏🏽 IS 👏🏽 NOT 👏🏽 A 👏🏽 PERSONALITY 👏🏽 TRAIT*
Whether you’re from the US or Canada- literally anywhere doesn’t make you superior to someone from another place, and if you think that way you need to turn off your screen, go outside, and rethink your life choices because that’s sad.
Didn't ask
How dare you. As an American, I am inherently superior to those people down south of me.
In Florida.
(Wait what? What do you mean "Florida is part of the United States"? Since when?)

Jesus these comments
So many people are offended that he said "America" to refer to the United States. I don't know why, but this really annoys me.
Is this really what you guys think is important? We all know what he meant, stop trying to change the way people talk to fit your standards.
I didn't really expect it to be honest, I made the editorial decision for Tristan to used the term 'America' to speed up the video that tiny bit, makes a difference to the pacing. On the plus side, I might actually look into the topic and make a video about it.
Benny Boy I find that hilarious as a Canadian as well. most Canadians I know (in fact I've never heard otherwise) would never think of themselves as American. that word belongs to the US now... it's become 'gross' well before Trump.
Benny Boy I agree
Because some of us are old school. 'America' was a single continent until WW2. The States are The United States 'of' America. They are 'part' of America... not America as a whole. They may call themselves America, but that doesn't make it correct.
If you do you might want to look into why the phrase changed from "United States are" to "United States is" after the 1860's (except for those of us who are Originalists), how Vermont was treated as an independent Republic (separate from the USA) before the Constitution was ratified and replaced the Articles of Confederation, and why people thought of themselves primarily as Virginians, N. Carolinians, etc. It relates to why the Declaration of Independence declares that the (former) Colonies are now "Free and Independent States" (not a singular free & independent Nation or State), and why, in the Treaty of Paris, "Britain acknowledges the (list naming all 13 States individually) to be free, sovereign, and independent states, and that the British Crown and all heirs and successors relinquish claims to the Government, property, and territorial rights of the same, and every part thereof...." Another historical clue is the fact that some colonies (e.g. Rhode Island) declared independence before the Continental Congress did. In short, as Daniel Webster stated, "The States are Nations."
If Canada became a state of the USA it will be the second most populated state.
canada has states
ProgressoS0UP Canada have provinces not states
same thing...
On a technical level, when it comes to political theory, they aren't _quite_ the same. They're both political divisions, but their exact formation and the exact powers delegated to them are not quite the same. A Canadian province is not a state.
Wow...nobody understood that.....
One thing to note is that prior to the 7 years war, the French speakers of Canada called themselves Canadians, and had many of the same national symbols and myths as modern Canada, such as the maple leaf, the beaver, and the idea of northern wilderness that defines much of Canadian nationhood. In many ways, the nation of Canada was formed during its time under New France.

God these comments are giving me cancer. Can us Americans and Canadians just get along, our countries are best friends and I've never met a single American who hates Canada!
I Love Hetalia! To be honest the internet is full of Americans wanting to annex Canada (possibly out of juliously who am I to judge ) but almost no one you meet in real life wants to annex Canada it’s just the people (probably in their moms basement) in a house all the time shitposting
I Love Hetalia! - true! Never met an American who ever said anything bad about Canadians ever. The negativity seems to be only online one way-hatred towards Americans. Very sad.
aminahshaban ohh no it’s two Canadians seem to hate the Americans online but Americans hate the Canadians online
Canada Ball - why all the hate? It seems as if these haters are basically projecting their own insecurities onto other people.
