I love Canadians, the same way I love people from other states in our Union. But I would look forward to dicussing politics, because one of the coolest things about being an American, if not the coolest, is that we can openly discuss how we feel and not suffer any gov't sanctioned conesquenses because of it. I can go anywhere in the world and say, "no, not all Americans support Bush." And I love that about my country, which is why I wouldn't pose as a Canadian. I would pose as either Bohemian or Luxembourgian though, just for the hell of it. I also think pretending to be from another country is an easy way out. You should have an opinion about the things you're country is doing. That makes the whole country look bad if you're like "who cares what my gov't is doing" People need more self confidance.

To alelevate RACoopers fear, I don't think people attack americans because of politics, at least not in a physichal sense. Plus, if a European or whatever started a fight with a Canadian, and I didn't like the way it was going, I would jump in on the Canadian side. North America is too cool of a continent not to be united like that.
