For me, the shock was the interest. I had just assumed that all americans (or most) just don't care. I think that is a wrong assumption. I just don't think they are given the chance to know

Funny, everytime someone in Canada found out I was an American (Mostly from my accent), I got inudated with how stupid Americans are.

I remember watching a Much Music show on Bare Naked Ladies complaining about how long it took them to break into the US market and how American's don't have any taste in good music. But when they did, nothing about how wonderful the USA is for making them millionaires.

As an adult I've can't remember the last time I've ever been in a racial situation in the USA, in Canada, it was a regular occurence.

I love Canada, but it has it's pros and cons, just like anywhere else.
