In all my travels and in those of my friends, I have found that worldwide, Canadians are extremely well-respected. No wonder Americans try to pass themselves off as us. We do have assholes, but they are an extremely small minority.

My friends in Japan tell me that if you wear Canadian brand clothing, or have clothing that says "Canada" on it, they(Japanese store owners) will give you top-of-the-line clothing for free. They'll still call youa gaijin, but you get free stuff, so that's a plus.

In India, from my experience, tourists and some locals will freely invite you to afternoon tea, just to talk.

In The Netherlands and you are Canadian, you are treated extremely well. If you a Canadian who had a family member serve in WWII, you will be gushed over. If you are a veteran, you will be freakin' worshipped.

In Germany, according to my friends Melissa and Kyle, Canadians are widely known as cool and kick-ass people, who are great to be around. Same goes for France and Italy.

In Cuba, from my and many others experiences, Canadians are very well liked. Same goes for Barbados and Jamaica.

In Mexico, if you are Canadian, and show it, you'll probably be fine. If you advertise that you're American, you'll be robbed, and maybe stabbed.



In other words, No matter where you go on this planet, if you are a Canadian, you'll be loved, so don't be an ass and hurt our national image.


Being a Canadian kicks ass! Don't you ever forget it!!!
