Right because we see English Canada as really foreign. Do English Canadians and Americans truly view each other as foreigners? Like going to Minneapolis is a foreign experience? Leaving Quebec to see Toronto is foreign for Quebecois as much as New York.
Most Americans seldom think of Canada unless we see one of those tractor trailers with Ontario plates running down an Interstate or the Canadian snow birds flocking to the American South every winter. But most of us definitely believe Canadians to be foreign. They come from what is mostly a very different mindset based on 250 years of differentiated existence. The spoken language is, for the most part, very similar but that is about where it ends. It isn't that we dislike Canadians. We don't. The sins of the Tories were long ago forgiven. But, in part we resent them manipulating the value of their currency to keep their labor cheaper, and welching on their common defense spending, adding to the burden of American taxpayers who feel forced to defend the expansive Canadian tundra on the cheap.

I'm confused about the above bolded statement. In what ways is America defending Canadian tundra?

Acajack my friend, I sure hope you're right. We have had a fearsome history.
I would be more worried about the recent influx of third world immigrants and the brainwashed left-wing wing SJWs who can't wait to tell you how evil Israel is. They are way more anti-semitic than Quebec.
You may believe Canada to be a mediocre federation but Quebec without all its linguistic rules and regulations would be less than mediocre, As for being a friend to America see how they will bend over backwards to accomodate the French culture across America eh.

Who wants to see francophone culture accommodated across "America" (by this I assume you mean the USA)? Nobody has ever talked about that.

Yep..and let's not forget that Quebec's inferiority complex keeps them from ever actually voting for independence. They talk the talk but never walk the walk.
Quebec isnt "occupied"...its hard to even take the Pepsi mentality seriously. No amount of language police and ethnic nationalism can rebuke the fact that Quebec will always belong to Canada. You had your chance and now independence is out of the question. Its forever dead.

Quasi-racial slurs* always add a certain flavour to an argument. In this case, given its nature it probably deserves not much more than a big burp in response.
*I realize that our mostly Americans moderators probably aren't well-versed in Canadian slurs.
