More than half of Canadians now say they “no longer feel welcome in the United States,” for example, and this sentiment is strongest among women and older people. Article content
During the recent Canadian election campaign with its looming threat of crippling tariffs and annexation, there was a “worrisome intersection” in the Canadian mind of the American government and the American people, according to Jack Jedwab, president of the Montreal-based Association for Canadian Studies (ACS).
I went on an MSC cruise a few months back to the bahamas and that was a legitimate issue we ran into.
The cruise was almost entirely Canadians, So you could totally tell that they were trying to actively avoid us and a few even were worried about sitting at the same table as us during lunch settings.
All of the family that did end up sitting with us was super kind. However, it was clear that they were creeped out for the first five or six minutes until they realized that we weren’t going to bite or at them.
Were you all wearing MAGA hats or do Canadians just know from a hunch?
lol @ the maga hat, Like I would ever be caught with that(well technically I wouldn’t be caught endorsing either sides tbh, they both suck currently).
As an actual answer though, it doesn’t take much to differentiate someone from the US, especially Maine from someone from Canada. Attire generally gives it away but, if attire doesn’t give it away, accent definitely will. and if somehow neither of those give it away, the first few questions at a table are generally a courteous “so where you guys from and whats your name”. Which unless you lie, would also give it away.
Q: How can you tell if an American is in a group?
A: It’s just like with vegans: they’ll tell you.
