    I thought most Americans were happy to be called Canadians? Lol... I've met quite a few Americans who try to pass themselves off as Canadian when they're traveling.

    It's the Canadians that wouldnt like to be called American...

    Wait a minute, as a proud American I will not be called Canadian. I am not going to say anything negative as I do have Canadian friends I respect. I may not always be proud of what our gov't does but I am proud to stand up for my fellow Americans and what we believe in. Many have died to give us what we have and anyone that doesn't appreciate that or wants to deny they are American, pack up and get out we don't need you here anyways. God bless the USA!

    I don`t think that is the same thing at all. British is British as Canadian is Canadian....we have provinces in Canada too just like the US has states.

    Calling an American Canadian or vice versa is like calling a British person Scottish they are entirely different countries.

    I am Canadian and always travel with a big Canadian Flag on the back of my back pack so people know. I never get trouble anywhere in the world.

    We're from Ireland (Dublin) and we are not in the UK and we are certainly not English!

    Northern Ireland is however part of the UK though...
