The same way that associating certain demographics in the U.S. with an exaggerated love for fried chicken is. It isn't fundamentally a slur, until it becomes one. Then it is.

Gotcha. And when I say I know little about Canada, this is one illustration that I am not facetious. Another is that I don't have the list of Canadian PM's, or even the current cabinet membership memorized.
Quebec is the real 'Canada' just like this thread shows most of the ROC is just the peoples who weren't allowed in the U.S. anymore. Why would we want to be a part of that?

Good evening No Manners,
What you say is true about the anglo Canadian base population.
One could easily argue that they are simply the Americans who didn't make the cut; banned from residing in their mother country and jealously watching their neighbour's every step, yet copying each step along the way.
However, the reality is that they really are none of our concern. Canada is but a loose alliance of nations.
As Mr. Trudeau put it, Canada is a country with no real culture or values. He is right, because Canada is more of a weak political construct.
I believe that this despite it's obvious weakness and instability, this political construct called Canada offers many benefits to Quebec which would otherwise be unavailable. It is only sensible to use these in Quebec's best interest whilst Canada still exists.

Anglo-Canadians were never banned from the USA. They left of their own free will.
Whether it was a good or bad choice is a matter of debate.
Yes, and no. Some saw the writing on the wall and simply packed up and left. The Tories who remained after Cornwallis surrendered were definitely not made to feel welcome, in various degrees and by various methods. There was a lot of resentment of those who supported King George.

In my experience up here so far, Canadians are watching us Americans, but not with jealousy. My Canadian (and other non-American) friends seem to think of us as the laughingstock of the world, and to an extent I can see why
