I suspect that the proportion of stupid people in Canada is probably about the same as that in LA, except that Canadians tend to spell better.

That's pretty much what I see many Canadians thinking of Americans. It's a weird relationship I'm seeing in this continent.

Canadians are really smart. Don't bother about it! Canadians feel the same about Americans anyway...

I'd never heard people in Canada do the 'eh' thing until this last trip, and then, I heard lots of people do it. I'd heard people joke about it, but not actually heard it said 'in the wild'.

Generally smart & friendly, in my experience. But I'm still undecided about the ones who spell sentiment with two 'n's ;P

Which LA? (Los Angeles, Louisiana, or Lower Alabama). If it's the last, then I wouldn't worry myself. People in Lower Alabama are too stupid to know stupid.

There are stupid people from every country. They're probably just pissed because Canada gave us William Shatner. And Shatner RULES!:-D

I recently worked with a Candian developer that was taking time out from work to travel through the Americas. When I quizzed him more closely on his route, it was pretty much from the southern tip all the way up to the Mexico / USA border. He was then going to catch a plane and fly over the USA and tour around Canada. Doesn't sound so stupid to me! Ian Partridge

Stupid? Perhaps, if they choose live in a country with two borders with the USA! ;P :laugh:

So, Canadians are not Americans? IMO, anyone who lives in North or South America is an "American." As a citizen of the U.S.A. citizen, I personally dislike the common misassociation of American with the U.S.A., for the reason I mentioned above. But, I suppose I'm in the minority... (This is one of my pet peeves.:mad:) As for stupidity, I this that the percentage of stupid people is pretty much the same worldwide. Now, as for ignorant people, that varies widely.
