That kind of stuff makes me giggle. Why are people so ignorant about Canada? It's America's neighbor!

It's not like any of the stereotypes are true, eh? (kidding).

Actually, many of the good questions came from other countries. But I think if Canadian media had an opportunity to reach the U.S., like their media reaches us (thankfully it doesn't), then there would be less ignorance, and we could live in our igloos in peace. Thankfully we don't have any American stereotypes to contend with, and they can go on living in their shacks, breeding babies with their sisters.
