dude if i find the hand out from my law class i'll post it up here, unless of course what they told us in class was bs (which i'm not ruling out)
how much they enforced this law is a question though; obviously they didn't reject EVERYONE from a warm climate cause that would've been ridiculous. |

It is not "americans" per say that I don't like. It is Mr George W(anker) Bush that I dislike. The people keep electing him..so maybe it is the people that I dislike after all :conf:
When the US starts showing tolerance for other cultures and religions and deals with the issues in their own country (ie. 34 million Americans living on or below the poverty line) then I will respect them. :) Oh and when they get off their high horse and stop assuming American life is THE WAY and the be all and end all, more respect will follow. |

dunno how true that is though, my family and I immigrated from Iran in the mid 80's.. (Iran has a very warm climate) |
Did your family gain enterance by an immigration application or a refugee application? There is a world of difference. |

we really dont need respect. and its true, economically, we r the . what bothers us is why people we could care less about talk so much about us when we have say nothing about them? dont like us? ok let us be and mind ur own instead of just constantly riding our ass. thats the american gov't mindset but actually worse |

I find it quite amusing that a lot of Canadians have strong opinion about American presidents more than Canadian Prime Ministers. (did someone say this already?)
A lot of rather silly comments too... Not trying to be uppity, but how many people actually take the time to make an informed opinion about Americans rather than casual glance of facts and personal biases? |

That is something I would have to ask my parents, I can't remember at all, I was 6yrs old at the time. |

funny how canadians' superiority complex is born of inferiority. We pride ourselves on being less ignorant than americans and actually come off being MORE ignorant in the process.

I love how alot of Canadians here pride themselves on being less ignorant....yet when I say I grew up in the US the first thing I hear is "Are the high schools really like in the movies?!?".
I've gotten quite a few negative comments here when I've told people I'm American. Same thing goes for Taiwan....I would tell people I was American and get a colder response than if I told them I was Canadian. Interesting how it all works. |

| That is one thing I have to agree on. For some wacked reason a lot of the people in the healthcare industry in Ontario, specially receptionist, and nurses (not all of them ofcourse, just the majority I've personally been in contact with) treat non-Canadian residents pretty freaking rudely. Sorry to be blunt but.. off and do your job! not everyone is out there to scam the system. |
