      I don’t know about that… In my family of Canadians there was always a little bit of anti-American sentiment growing up. Culturally, while close, there are definitely differences. They used to come up during salmon season and cheat the system by catching over the limit and canning it at night so the authorities couldn’t count their catch. I would never say that all Americans are bad people, but the ‘fuck you, I got mine’ attitude seems to be much more prevalent south of the border.

    “Obviously when someone turns its back, you have to find ways to strengthen the Canadian economy and look at new markets, look at new industries.”

    Hoekstra fired back saying using such language is “a dangerous place to go.”

      A dangerous place you say. Hey Pete, is that dangerous place one of your infamous ‘No-go zones’ ?

    And well he should be disappointed when even Canada has so much anti-American sentiment. I’m sure he fulfilled his duty by reporting back what the us needs to do different, right? Right?
