Perhaps- but in no way does it change that reality.

Many eastern Canadians (save for Quebecois) are knee jerk anti American. The NDP, Liberal leader David Ignatieff (who studied at Harvard!) have made clear the ease in how they are ready to criticize Americans. Stephen Harper is often berated for his close ties and support of America.

As a rule, western Canadians are far more apt to be pro America with the exception of British Columbia (their lalaland)

It is the American arrogance, not our jealousy that drives Canadian anti-American sentiment.

Your comment that ended with the assumption that Europeans and Canadians don’t like Americans because we are jealous of you in some way shows the arrogance too many Americans carry with them when they visit other countries. Dump the personal arrogance, and the anti-American sentiment will be reduced to those who are pissed at the US’s political arrogance in interfering with other countries. Stop that, and very few will be anti-American.

Some people will always be anti-American, some of them because of jealousy, but I have never met any C
