60% of Canadians say that America is their friend.
48% of Americans say Britain is their friend. 15% of Americans say Canada is their friend. In retrospective, why would they like Britain more than Canada, (no offense Britains!) speaking back to the American Revolution. This what my social teacher says anyways! |

The vast majority of Americans don't know even the most basic facts about Canada, except that some hockey players have come from there. Some of them couldn't even point to Canada on a globe...

I was visiting the states one time with a friend and we got into a conversation with someone and mentioned we were from Canada. The guy looked at us blankly for a second and then said "oh, Canada... That's the place above us right?" My friend rolled his eyes and said "yes, in more ways than one..."
