Hello!

During this course I’ll be looking at the differences in perspective between Canadians and Americans in relation to how we view each other. Which basically means:

What do Canadians think about Americans? versus What do American’s think about Canadians?

Though my daily thoughts seldom involve Canadians, I have to admit that the opinion I had formed followed the usual stereotypes–cold temperatures, better healthcare, and funny accents–all in all though, I thought they were basically like the US only much nicer.

Taking the time to learn a little something about our neighboring nation, however, has opened my eyes to some new and different ways of thinking. But I’ll leave that lecture to the professors, because what I really want to show you is how some of these stereotypes are maintained in our media.

Check back tonight or early tomorrow morning for some video clips!!
