Nothing new. I already met some in Europe 25 years ago. They told me they are from Toronto. “The beautiful west coast” 🤦🏻♀️

Fix your effing country and you won't need to pretend that you're from a more humane society.
-
My country is about to disenfranchise me and probably prevent me from working. If I am not in concentration camp, I will be on the street.
-
What if we would rather be Canadian but can't afford to move, and aren't special enough to breeze through immigration? What if we wish BC and the Pacific states could join forces and be a chill, socialist coast? Baja can come too.

This has been a thing for decades...
-
This has been advice I've heard literally my entire life as an American. People like Canadians way more than us. For good reason
-
For people all over the world wondering if that person with a Canadian flag on their back is an actual Canadian - just talk to them. You'll know.
-
If they act like assholes, treat them like assholes, nationality aside.
-
Not if English is not their first language.

I thought 'Muricans were whatever flavour of European is most present in their ancestry
-
Oh, I am 1/64th Romanian, I'm basically Vlad Dracula.
-
Or whichever ethnicity they prefer this week.

Buddy, if you're gonna impersonate us you're gonna have to pay us the tariff!!!!!!!

This is great, reads sort of like an onion article before the onion ran out of satire and got an overstock of reality
-
The Onion was ruined when VCs bought it. The Beaverton is still themselves, not a soulless corpse under the same name like The Onion.

This was commonplace back in the '80s already. Old news. Americans know they've been hated around the world for most of my life.

I was down in Mexico when I was younger, I was talking with a street merchant I was talking Canadian and all that. He tried selling me something for $20 so I pulled out the queen and he was all like “no no no US money.” I ended up just walking away.
Later in life I was down in Jamaica I was talking to a street merchant and he tested me on which province I was from, I said “Saskatchewan but I can name any other one if you have no idea if where Saskatchewan is.” But the merchant believed me that I was actually from Canada.

as soon as i can move there i won't have to pretend
-
Have you considered instead just fixing your own place instead of moving and bringing your trash upbringing with you?

This has always been a thing.
The joke when I was you was "how can you tell a Canadian from an American travelling abroad? The Canadian only has one flag on their backpack."
It used to be a cross we would bear, but if I see it in the wild now, I'll probably get a knife and cut it off.
Fuck 'em. Yes, even the left-leaning, trying-to-fix-things Americans. Fuck 'em all.
-
The most worrisome thing is they will still be Americans after they flag-jack, and still act like Americans, thereby ruining Canadian's reputations.

I considered that until Trump threatened them. Then I realized it was disrespectful and insulting and decided against it. Sorry y'all. America has been embarassing for a long time. We're all
about to befucked if it is any consolation. -
Lmao, I have been wearing a Canada hat abroad for like 20 years. Half because I think it's funny, and half because it consistently leads to awesome conversations.
-
I hope people spit in your food everywhere you go.
-
As a polite Canadian, let me say this:
FUCK YOU you rotten bag of shit! May you wake up somewhere with no teeth.
"People need to understand that liberty and responsibility are two sides of the same coin."
You deserve neither.

If I was American, I would do the same! I really don’t mind. It’s the Canadian thing to do! 💪🇨🇦
