This will sound insensitive, but it's a serious point of anger for a lot of Canadians. I couldn't give a fuck about what the average peanut farmer in South Virginia thinks about Canada. When Canadian's talk about "America" -they are talking about the American government - ya know, the people who control the tanks and bombs? The people threatening? The people who have an actual impact on Canadian sovereignty?

It's no different for you. When someone talks about something "France wants to do," you don't mistakenly think it's about some rando coffee-shop worker in Paris, you know it's referring to the french government. You are well aware that there are people living in France that don't want to do that thing, but you don't care, that's not relevant.

"Not all Americans" really rings so hollow it might as well be a balloon. Use that energy on getting rid of the fascists running the place instead of worrying about discrimination from some country to the North.
