And what these assmunchs don't realize is that a LOT of Canadian tourists don't fly Canadian colours on their baggage because of "overblown" patriotism. They do it because it makes them less of a fucking target for ridicule. This has been the case for decades.

American tourists have had a bad but richly deserved reputation for years. We're rude to "foreigners" in their own country. We treat anyone who doesn't speak english as an idiot. We think if we just SPEAK LOUDER in english then the sheer volume will get the point across. Heaven forbid we actually LEARN a little bit of the language and culture of the country we're hoping to visit.
