They have to study to know that Canada is north of them?TASTELIMES wrote: »They aren't dumb. Asking them what they know about Canada is like asking you what do you know about Ivory Coast? Why are you surprised that the Americans don't bother to study about us? -
Can't blame them, I live in Canada and I watch far more American TV shows and news then I do of Canadian. We really don't have much happening here and I wouldn't be surprised if I knew more about America than I do of Canada and this is coming from someone who has gone through the education system in Canada.

Exactly. We don't learn about America in Canadian schools yet we know a fair amount about them. NO, not because we're smart and they aren't, but it's because they're basically the most notable country in the world and they're always talked about. -

The only thing notable I learned is they fought bravely on Juno beach during D-Day. I think it's a good thing they are left out of the spotlight, they don't have that many enemies. -

It's interesting because if you attend a Canadian history class in Canada you'll realise that everything you learn is slightly exaggerated when it comes down to world war history. Things like what we did in the world wars are historically inaccurate in our schools because it's a form of propaganda.
People might think that's a crazy assumption, but it's true. No disrespect to any veterans. -

I learned that in my WW2 course, however, my grandpa said otherwise from his perspective when he fought. I didn't know if he was telling the truth or the fact that he pretty much hates everyone. -

You learned about propaganda in this day and age in Canadian schools? I'm probably the only one in the world that actually came up with this from first hand experience. -

Because it's the only sport you can play professionally in Canada and it's a joke that the government invests a huge share into hockey facilities and programs when they can't even stand out. -

Finally someone from Canada speaks the truth.
No hate against your country, Canada hasn't did anything, and thats the point. I love being in a country as envied as USA -
