Come on, canada is basically the north american version of europe.

As for france and the most visited comment. I believe the US STILL draws the most immigrants out of nation in the world. Doesn't sound too hated to me.
Canada is Canada. It's unique. A survey out today (I'll post a separate thread with the link) found that Canada has the number 1 image amongst the world's population when it comes to its system of governance. US was #11. However, Americans opinions of their own country was that they were better than everyone else in every category. We can see this thinking on this very forum.

You are correct about the US having the highest absolute level of immigration but on a per capita basis, Canada is #1 with three times the US per capita rate. The feds have announced a new immigration target of 1% of our population yearly within the next two years, a 40% increase from current levels.

Finally, most people don't hate the US (me included), we just detest the current federal government and US foreign policy in particular, with its unilateralist, unccoperative approach to world affairs.
