The US & Canada are so closely intertwined
Thursday, November 19th, 2009So why is the US alienating Canada?
Canadians thought things would be better when Obama was elected, but now I can see that Obama is no better than Bush when it comes to US Canada relations.
I remember a few years back when I was treated like I lived in Siberia instead of just next door. I was trying to do business with banks & get a simple merchant account, & was told because I was in Canada I was considered a foreigner.
I was upset & shocked at how I was treated.
Then over the years some American companies have treated me like I live a million miles away first not allowing Canadians to call their toll free number, or refusing to ship their products to us Canadians.
If an American company doesn’t consider Canadians their customers when they open their door for business, that message reeks of “attitude”, & this is exactly why Canadians have grown to distrust Americans.
I had one guy who sounded like he didn’t even know where Canada was. I chalked that up to him being a below average American, & I’ll never forget the time that a new friend in the US didn’t want to call me long distance because he thought the prices to call here were the same as him calling Russia LOL
Man I’d love to deck those ignorant Americans, but my point is, is the US going to treat Canada like garbage & alienate Canada as an ally too?
Isn’t it bad enough that they have alienated almost the entire rest of the world, now they want to alienate the only other country that sits right next to them & does a lot of business with them?
The Canadian people are feeling it, AND DON’T like it!
GIVE ME A BREAK!
