Basically visiting Ontario and Vancouver is like being on an episode of Sliders where you land in a universe where everything is almost EXACTLY like home, and you feel very comfortable there until you start paying attention to the little things like brand names, and suddenly, it feels weird.

whereas quebec just feels like being in france with well, french people

Wistfully...

I can;t speak for all Americvans, but I view Canadians as more civil than many Americans, well educated, and politely independent.

I like Canadians. If I had a job up there I'd move, our country is Looney Tunes.

I can only view the ones that are near the border when I am.

No, but seriously. I consider Canadians to be mostly the same as Americans, only nicer. The few times I’ve gone north of the border, I had friendly encounters with everyone I met.

You also have produced many great comedians. Thanks!

Ever seen South Park?

This American views most Canadians as being not that much different from us.
Just more polite, and not suffering under a bunch of morons, led by an even bigger
orange moron. Every Canadian I've ever met has been a pretty decent person.
Except for one guy. He was a dick, but we were both only 15 at the time. So, he was
just a regular teenage boy.

Special forces were developed by them they can't be that bad. I do find some of them a bit odd though, that is good because I love odd.

West coast Canadian folks are cool......

I live about an hour away from Vancouver/Victoria BC. I can see Canada from a lot of points on my island. Right now they are a lot more progressive than us (except for the fact that Victoria dumps it's sewerage in the Salish Sea). We desperately to copy their gun restrictions and national health plan.. I have a Nexus card and visit it often.

As "knobs" and "hosers", eh!

Telescope.

Well, how do Canadians see Americans??.... Its just people my friend, nothing less nothing more....

More Favorably than you would care to realize. We are having a hard time realizing ourselves amid the big divide that is occuring and no one is addressing.

They're what the people in the states should be like.

I can't speak for many Americans but I can speak for myself and several others I talk with:

Our consensus is Canadians are fortunate not to be living in an increasingly fascist Trump inspired plutocracy.

@atheist unrealistic? When I was younger I would have pursued it. Its expensive now, I'm not a Chinese chef, doctor, rich, or anything that would make Canada want to take me in. I am horrified by my country recently. The ugly that has crawled out in the last year is shameful & depressing. I'd love to be around Canadians every day.

Montreal tho, aren't they mostly French? I have a friend from Canada who went off talkin bout how they made them learn French in school. He's in his 60s & still pissed. No one likes the French.

Being either American nor Canadian I have a funny perspective. Both my kids have been to teh states a few times, and say, like all Australians seem to, that the Americans are so friendly to them. Over here we get lots of back packers and a few years ago when I had time off I would go and party, sail and dive in the backpacker hotspots. The Americans largey stick together with other Americans of their own age. The Canadians (I only met Canadian ladies, never saw a Canadian guy there) were extremely open, keen to meet new people, and very affectionate.
I assumed that over here the Americans and Canadians would hang together, I was wrong.

I think they are harmless. And that the québécois are obsessed with smoke meat and poutine and their bagels are odd. I like their maple syrup and peameal bacon.

Americans look down at everybody. It is one of the great short comings of our nation.

I can't speak for all Americans. I view Canadians very favourably.

I think for the most part they are seen as the same as people in the US, up until they talk about US politics then I think Americans get salty.

No different than anyone else?

I lived in Burlington, VT for 3 years and crossed the border quite often - 1 1/2 hours to Montreal. Also worked and attended sales training in Toronto. Didn't see much of the area. Canadiens are very similar to Americans except they speak French in Quebec City and Montreal a little.
