First, if you asked most folks (Americans)....not from the northern tier region....they would admit they've never met a Canadian.
Second, I would take a wild guess.....more than 75-percent of Americans have never crossed the border into Canada.
Third, if you asked a thousand Americans to name a product they buy/use from Canada.....other than Molsen Beer, or Crown Royal Whiskey.....they can't name anything.
Fourth, if you asked Americans to name a province (a state) in Canada....more than seventy percent would be unable to list one.
Fifth, if you asked Americans to name a Canadian sports team....the number one listed....would be the Expos....who haven't existed since the 1980s.

Some of us might come up with the Toronto Blue Jays, y'know?
American League enthusiasts would....but not the Nat'l League guys.
"Beautiful B.C.!"
"Astounding Astoria!"
.
That is as far as I got.
Oh, wait.
"Loads Of Lumber!"
And I think they have another one of those province-thingies "something something... Oysters!"
But that just might be wishful thinking...
Note to Schnitzel:
Your humble correspondent turns 74yo in a few weeks.
Your 'has been'... OUCH.
