Why you ask...
Well why not? Really, unless you're from Canada or have spent time enough here to see the down sides (our politicians are a constant embarrasment IMHO) there's no reason not to like us. Image wise Canada is first rate. From a PR prespective I'd love to be a rep for this country. It would just be awareness work.
Our forigen policy is such that we rarely run afowl of others. Our military is in such a shambles that we couldn't attack a pub past last call, let alone another country. The general demeanour of our citizenry is affable, except in TO where the general concensus is we're full of ourselves (something I'm inclined to agree with, but with good cause. We float, what, 50% of the economy and have the best parties second only to Montreal.).
I'd actually like to hear some reasons not to like Canada, especially from people in other countries. Dose anyone out there hate us? I've never heard or seen in the media, or in my travels, some curse our name. In fact when I let out that I am Canadian I often get a very warm welcome, even in place where Americans might be in danger. No doubt there are some place where we wouldn't be very welcome, but those places are inhospitable to almost everyone.
As for the cold thing... it's cold in a lot of places. I'm in Europe freezing my ass off as I type. That's why most of us live near the border. We're trying to warm ourselves off the US pollution (joke, it's actually cuz we're getting ready to take you guys over. Next ice age and you guys are boned  )
Cheers,
Fats
