Citydata is in my opinion very rude to Canadians for some reason. The UK or Auatralia sections don't get as much hate as we do here.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that. None of the forums I've been to get any hate/trolls, but the Canada forum is constantly bombarded with it. But it's not just Citydata; ever since I told my siblings I wanted to immigrate to Canada, they've been making fun of it and talking about how America is better, SMH. I don't know why people like to make fun of Canada so much.
Don't let the haters get you down, though. Canada is awesome!

I am an American but do you want to know why?
If it weren't for the deeply friendly, peaceful border our military expenses would be a multiple of what they are now. The northern and Alaskan border are effectively undefended. We get little but friendship, admiration and a little jealousy from up north.
Do you want to know what a more typical border is like? The Gaza-Israel border. The Syrian or Iraqi border with the Islamic State. Pakistan's border with Israel. Turkey's border with Syria. Want a cold shower of reality. Go there, and then cross any U.S.-Canadian crossing.
Or go to Flanders and the poppy field. Or Juno Beach at Normandy. Their blood helped keep America and the West free.
Tell me why they're not important. Your views are a disgrace to any freedom-loving American.
I don't honestly know where all these stories of Americans being mean to Canadians are coming from.
With apologies to jgbusa and a few others, most Americans are too clueless about Canada to formulate a detailed opinion one way or the other. And when an opinion is formulated, it is usually positive. If there is anything negative it's still likely to be about Canadians being a bit dorky but likeable.
