Yeah , I do too, BUT most Americans are so mis-informed about Canada that I won't hold my breath.

In my 30 year CF military career, I spent about 6 years in total, on secondments with the US Army, and most of that time I spent trying to educate the local people, on my own time, about Canada. The level of general knowledge, about their biggest trading partner and closest ally was abysmal. What little was known , was either wrong or thirty years out of date.

Try this..........Take a look at the CNN weather map, and notice that in Canada there are NO cities, no rivers and NO provincial boundaries, either. Just a big blank space. A further point..... Not ONE American newspaper, tv network, or magazine has a "Canadian office ", or even one reporter that works in Canada, on a full time basis. Could that explain the lack of knowledge ?
