Why do Canadians look down on Americans?

Ugh.
So why do you continuously cite and adhere to the founding fathers bud? If it was to be either Canada or the US who is stuck as you pit it, you guys are constantly liking to define your selves by something that happened hundreds of years ago.
Not at all, Canadians are merely happy embracing our British history and ties to Britain while also celebrating our own identity. There is no ~stuck in the middle~ as you think of it.
Try decades ago that was a thing. Indeed please show your ignorance more.

Lower crime, better standard of living, better healthcare, most prosperous middle class in the world, healthier food, more space per person, higher economic mobility, better education standards, ~smarter~ citizens (based on IQ tests and testing results).
Canada is far from screwed up and we just do not value the things in the way you think we should that to you would make us screwed up. We have the courage to embrace our heritage thanks. There is absolutely nothing wrong with us choosing not to join you during your Revolution.
Canadians just wish they were still a British colony instead of a quasi-American one. The Ontario motto is "loyal she began, and loyal she remains" ffs and the flag has both the Union Jack and English cross on it. Except Quebec of course, which obviously would join France if it could and look down on Europe from across the ocean.

Yes, but not to my satisfaction. Back in Minnesota, I could visit those cheeseheads in wisconsin and get huge bags of delicious squeaky cheese curds. But I haven't found good supply here in Northern California yet. I guess I'll have to go to some cheese shop.

I think I need to start a petition on the Whitehouse website about going metric.
It is completely STUPID that we don't do it. I want to see all the Republicans rise up and defend the brain-dead IMPERIAL system of weights & measure. Then again, they'll probably say it is better than going French.

Nobody is stopping you from using metric. Go ahead and convert in your head. Feel special.
wtf is this shit?
Why do all Americans use guns?
Why do all the British have bad teeth?
Both of these generalizations are about as accurate as the OP (as in not at all)

Stop putting your dirty hands on our cheese curds you filthy Minnesotan! D:<
They're a lot of generalizations in this thread...

No converting. I'll go full bore.
Just think about it:
-Our scientists have all gone metric. (And when they don't they FUCK UP MASSIVELY.)
-Our medical system is all metric. (how many ounces is that pill? yeah, right.)
-Our MILITARY is all metric. (They have to be due to NATO.) The MILITARY . . . you can't get any more USA than that.
If we want to export our products to the world, we need to go metric.

I didn't know that Canadians looked down on us, but we sure do joke about them.
I for one am extremely jealous of countries with national maternity leave programs. Lost my shit when reading Germany's benefits, then totally lost my shit when reading about Serbia's. I say that's worth Canadians looking down on us for that alone.

I'm Canadian and I love the US. Only bad part of living in Canada is everything is so expensive.
People in the US are lucky you can get food and other things for dirt cheap.

Oh come on. You WANT everyone to buy your cheese! You are America's Dairyland.
Own it. It is awesome.

I'm all metric at work. In science it makes perfect sense. But in cooking I want to use cups, quarts and teaspoons. When driving, I want miles. When measuring my dick or laying out studs when building a house, I want inches. I think we're at a good balance right now.

I've spent a shit ton of time in high school and college learning about other countries. I'm not sure where this meme came from, shitty American tourists? Sorry bro everyone knows America but there are over 200 countries, I don't know incredibly specific information about all of them.
Imperial units are one of the worst curses ever put on the world.
Americans eat too much corn for my taste. I prefer grilling a few Frenchmen over the barbecue.

And you might say it's this small group, an isolated selection of wackos, but I'm not entirely convinced.

I was just teasing you. I always enjoyed the rivalry Minnesota and Wisconsin have.Oh come on. You WANT everyone to buy your cheese! You are America's Dairyland.

One day I'll take a trip through Minnesota. Beautiful state and I'v never met a bad person from there.
Its not a meme, even if it was, the US education system is pretty poor in comparison to other first world countries.

I honestly didn't know the slogan of my own province. I guess we just have other things to worry about than changing it. Maybe someday.
But hey, I've got no problem with the Queen. She doesn't affect my life. I dunno about her useless kid, though. Maybe once he becomes King Charles we should rethink things.

Unless those things actively offend people, they just sorta linger.
Well that's just obviously not true.
