When I was stationed in England it was common for Americans to say they were Canadian when traveling. Sometimes we'd even get that tip during our security briefings before leaving. Especially when going over to mainland Europe. Not many people like us over there. This was all after 9/11 though and during the war.

 

Being Canadian is awesome. Y'all should try it sometime

 

Bahhahaha!!!

I was in Germany during the election...let's just say they weren't so thrilled with the outcome.

 

How ridiculous...................

 

Went all over Europe (without a maple leaf pin) and had no problems.

I have found that being polite and as unobtrusive as possible when I travel, both in the States and internationally, is the way to go.

 

Problem is, you have to be good-looking, intelligent, and well-spoken to pass as a Canadian. Unfortunately, most of y'all won't be credible for more than two seconds...

I.AM.CANADIAN!

 

I agree

 

Didn't bother to read the whole article, but these 2 lines caught my attention:

* There's also a quick reference guide -- "How to Speak Canadian, Eh?" -- on answering questions about Canada.

* When it comes to sports, the guide suggests: "This is easy to remember. There is only one real sport in Canada and it is called hockey. Regardless of any trivia question, the answer is 'Wayne Gretzky."'

It's funny cause it's true

 

Just say eh and aboot a lot.
