    Although you don’t want Americans to respond, your baiting comments suggest otherwise. First, in regard to weather, you live in the Great White North. Quite often we get the same ‘cold weather’ perception in Minnesota…or Michigan…or Maine. Deal with it. You know better. The United States isn’t as big as Canada in area, but you have to realize there are 282 million people in this country; confusion and ignorance will rear its head. But most level-headed Americans are well aware of the geography of the United States if you’d bother asking them rather than formulating such an opinion based on ‘at least one occasion.’ Secondly, the ‘phenomenon’ of Americans sewing Canadian flags onto their backpacks I think is merely advice that foreigners give to Americans. I know many Americans who have traveled to Europe, myself included, who heard that advice, smiled and ignored it. Why does one have to sew anything onto the backpack? But I guess it’s like wearing a Yankees cap to other major league ballparks. You’ll get a lot of grief because the Yankees are constantly in the spotlight (i.e. the United States). I can name more Yankees than I can Expos.
