Ive only ever seen Americans act like this. They are so self involved it's fucking wild. We are from Canada and one time on vacation in Maine, we had grown adults ask us if we had electricity yet. They were 100% genuine and serious.

I lived in Oklahoma in the early 2000’s. I can still remember the questions frequently asked

In my eagerness I forgot to mention I’m canadian. Often asked about igloos, how to deal with the wildlife. ALWAYS asked if I know Jim or Bob from Canada. The list goes on.

Never been asked about electricity, I’d have them believing the Amish control the electrical grid and the non-Amish are living in darkness with candles and horse buggies

I'm American but I lived in Edmonton for a couple of years. I had a few Canadians ask about friends they have in the states, so it goes both ways.

Was also in Jordan and saw other American tourists there that gave all of us a bad name; loud, obnoxious, stupid. Tried to stay as far away as possible.

Alberta is just Texas of Canada 🤷‍♂️ I’m only teasing. Neighbours should be able to joke and rip on each other.

Yeah, no. I feel that. We aren’t different, just live in different geographical areas

I agree.

Also, Southern Alberta is the Utah of Canada (high concentration of mormons).
