Right, a few of us in the U.S. (Though not me.) saw "Talking to Americans" and got the message we get from such programs, "They all hate us."
This leads to the popular philosophy, "Why should we care what they think, they all hate us."   Which leads to people supporting George W. Bush.
I stopped believing in the inherent virtue of all Canadians when I started telling them about my housemate from Newfoundland. People who didn't know him assumed he was a bum, because he was a "Newf". "He isn't a Canadian, he's a Newf." Somebody actually said that!
