I guess there is this historical territorial dispute and/or hate that exist even in the American continent. Just like the French and the English and the Friench vehemently rejecting to speak English if they can help it even until today.
I have only heard of this Canadian/American thing from comedians like Russell Peters (who is Indian btw), didnt really know if there is any real dispute except American comedians making condescending jokes about the Canadians.
The Americans themselves have this Confiderate General Lee affiliation and Yankee dispute for as long as I can remember, red neck jokes: even in the culinary community that the south only ate possom pie, collard greens and apple pie.
I saw this in a movie once, set in the 50s, where whites were the master race in US, then came blacks, followed by the Asians who were low waged labour and historically built the railroads, followed by the dog....and the last are the most powerful and richest people in US today.....those were some serious troubled times.
We are fellow oboists, perhaps we can take all these things in stride and share information abt the oboe instead and not let these things get in the way of a productive discussion.
