There are a lot of reasons for rivalry (and sometimes dislike) from scotland towards england, and to a much lesser extent the other way around....these range from the History involved upto the present day.

Most Scots know that most of the North of England would much rather follow Edinburgh than London politically...we have much more in common with them than the Home Counties, inc our general outlook on life...


One of the things i find funny is the media & Sport.... eg Olympics etc.

If someone from south of the Border does well, he's an "Englishman", if he does poorly hes "British"...anyone else noticed this?


I think the Canadian/US thing goes back to when Canada refused to join in the War of Independance and later when they erm...burned the Whitehouse down....

Now they're just jealous as Canada is considered part of the US that doesnt pay taxes to washington by some people


Im going to move this to The Lounge, as its evolved into a much more general thread than gaming...

Canada exists and it is cold and they play hockey.

The people say "aboot" instead of "about".

I doubt any American has bothered to think about Canada more than that. Why should they, it is a harmless little border country.

Maybe there is a border rivalry, but the statement that Americans hate Canadians is absurd. I cannot remeber a single instance in my life in which someone has spoken poorly of Canadians, or more precisely, said anything about them at all.

Canadians are fine by me, I'm sure they will all sleep easier tonight knowing that.

Britain is cold and wet, very wet, Hobbes, although not as cold as Canada, oh and we play football. our Scottishmen say 'aboot' instead of 'about'
Canada is one of the few countries that has been successful since we gave them independance.
