I am Canadian. People in Europe would always ask if I was American after hearing me speak, and their faces would always lighten up when I told them I was Canadian.

In Spain it was the worst. I would sometimes overhear service staff tell each other I was American and proceed to get awful service. It got to the point that I started going in to random stores to try to (unsuccessfully) find something with a Canadian flag on it.

I will try my best to be obviously Canadian next time.

I forgot about number 2, that's cruel.

Harper doesn't deserve to be compared to Trump like that. Harper is dislikable and definitely conservative, but his actions don't hold a candle to Trump's. Trump is evil.

Happy to be proven wrong, I don't remember everything either.
