You know, I just got back from Disney World a few weeks ago. We spent a week there, and the first place we visited was Epcot. We only spent a night there, so we basically did the quick tour. There is a big lake in the center, and then around it are "the countries of the world". There are small "blocks" set up to look and feel like different countries. You can go to China and get some Chinese food, you can go to France and get some wine, etc. The first place we stopped was Canada, and when we went into the gift shop all the workers were wearing red flannel and suspenders, they were selling skunk and beaver hats, and there was maple syrup for sale. It felt kind of embarrassing, because they actually brought in people from the real country to work in the fake country, and I looked around and it was basically every stereotype boiled down into a nice consumable package. I knew that if I went to "Italy", they would be hocking small coffees, pasta, and they would probably be paying some guy to walk around with an accordian. It was like they watched a bunch of movies, and then made a gift shop designed to represent what Joe Fuckstick From Kentucky wanted "Canada" to be. I live pretty damn close to Canada, and I felt a little self-conscious, wondering what these Canadians thought about us ignorant Americans as we waded through grizzly bear figurines and crap like that.
But you know what, if you fucking canucks aren't even going to make an effort to break out of your stereotypes, then just go wear your fucking denim hockey unis, you poutine eating moose jockeys.
