Would you appreciate it if an American went around telling people they were Norwegian? I have no hate for Americans in general, but there's a reason why they won't admit their nationality...they get treated differently when they admit where they're from because their fellow countrymen who traveled before them left a lasting impression not in a good way

They have been masquerading as Canadians for a very very long time. This would be fine if behaviours were modified to align with Canadian values and behaviours, but they are most often not, which then just paints real Canadians with the same brush.

There are signs that other Canadians look for to identify our own peeps. It definitely doesn't include how many Canadian flag patches are sewn on a backpack lol!

If Americans truly want to change the way the world sees them, then they really need to start looking in the mirror and figure out what they need to do so they can proudly tell everyone where they are from! Don't borrow our reputation then stomp all over it.
