Canadians.
I know this is pretty cliche, but I always hear things about how everyone doesn't like Canadians? Why is that? I know someone from Ontario, and she's really sweet. But other than that I know nothing about Canada. What's the big deal?

We hate Canadians because people like Michael Moore make it sound like some godlike place without any problems.
Then we start thinking about our nuclear arsenal being launched up to the Great White North and we immediately feel better and more secure.
Oh yea, our side of Niagara Falls is a piece of crap compared to theirs. Is that our fault? No! It's Canada's fault!

"They are drunks, who apparently have nothing better to do than have sex and get wasted and they've got some AWFUL tempers."
Let me use this as an example. Does alcohol or sex have anything to do with being Canadian? Absolutely not. When people begin to relate traits to a group of people they expect to have bad relations with them. It is ridiculous to believe that everyone from one country or race is going to be the same. As people mature and are exposed to a variety of people they begin to understand that where a person lives is not necessarily a good indication of how they will act.
I'm glad to see you are educating yourself and considering the facts before following anyone elses' opinions. It often only takes one individual to taint a person's opinion of a country. Being a Canadian, my opinion is both educated and biased. I know people from several countries and I have found that there are 'good' and 'bad' people everywhere. If you are still curious, try talking to more Canadians and form your own opinion of them, that is the best way to learn about a country and it's people.

Well I am Canadian French so I hope what your saying isn't true :-) hahaha. I haven't heard necasarily anything bad about Canadians specifically. I wouldn't worry about it too much, people like to form their own opinions sometimes, based off of one experience. Sometimes people dont understand, just because one person leaves a bad taste in their mouth, doesn't mean the whole population is bad. For example, some people think that everyone in Germany are bad people because of the Holocaust, but its most definetly not true. Hope I helped :-)

There's no real way to answer your question because it's purely an opinion. Some people have met Canadians and thought they were very nice. Others have met some not-so-friendly Canadians so they assume all Canadians are rude or whatever.
My personal experiences with Canadians have not been pleasant. They are drunks, who apparently have nothing better to do than have sex and get wasted and they've got some AWFUL tempers. However, not all Canadians are like that..I just met some bad people.
It's just like any other country. You meet some good people and you meet some bad ones. But you can't let the bad ones ruin their entire reputation (although that is what MOST people do...why do you think other countries hate Americans?) Because among all the drunken, nympho, angry canadians I met, there was one canadian girl who was very sweet. Definitely the nicest of the bunch.
People who judge an entire race, country, religion, gender, whatever on just a few bad encounters are IGNORANT.
So I guess to answer you're question..There is nothing wrong with Canadians. They are human beings just like you and me. There are bad people and there are good people all over the world.
