Just Looking ...

I was reading the blog and I noticed that there seems to be some anti-American sentiment. I was actually learning in one of my other classes that Canada is becoming more and more integrated with the U.S.(politically, economically, military). I think it's interesting many Canadians feel we are very different than Americans. But I don't know if Borat had been filmed here (or in a country other than the U.S.) whether or not the reactions of the people in the movie would have been all that different. Are we smarter and more tolerant than Americans? Or is that just how we perceive ourselves?
