为了帮助美国人装得更像，让他们在临走之前临时抱佛脚模仿加拿大口音，恶补一些“新祖国”的常识，以免在国外露馅，书店里还有一本《教您说加拿大话》（ Weird Canadian Words: How to Speak Canadian ） 的书，只是傲慢的美国人此时还不忘损一下他们的邻居，书名上还要加一句：古怪的加拿大词汇。
美国佬，你以为 光学几个加拿大词汇，模仿加拿大口音就能做加拿大人了吗？你如果不好好学习加拿大的文化，学习加拿大人的谦逊友善，加拿大人的平静淡泊和与世无争，了解一下加拿大为什么用枫叶作为国旗标志，就算把《 教您说加拿大话 》倒背如流也是没有用的。美国佬你还是去买一本《 Fakin' Eh!: How to Pretend to Be Canadian 》（怎样冒充加拿大人：装啊！ ），可是千万记住，学会了就把这本书留在家里，千万别带在身上啊！
Funny, never heard of Americans trying to be Canadians, only the other way around... Canadians always call themselves North Americans which includes USA; they are trying very hard to be closer to USA....

回复(_!_)的评论:
You said "美国的你千辛万苦,舔了无数人的脚指头才得到了绿卡".
Excuse me, I got my green card but I don't understand why we had to do that to get it ?? I got decent education, and good respectful job. Don't suppose every Chinese in USA is working in the dark corner of restaurant...
回复: 美国人喜欢冒充加拿大人！原来美国人只敢在家里或加拿大人面前横，出了国门还是要夹起尾巴做人的啊. - American people have freedom DNA, they can do whatever they want. 美国人不仅仅只敢在家里或加拿大人面前横,一些美国人不仅喜欢冒充加拿大人,他们还冒充其它地方的人,这是自由强大国家的人自信的表现,你(中国人)想冒充老撾人或者蒙古人吗?

好文.By the way,在美国的除了金山客的后代,很多是留学生,访问学者,探亲旅游,这些人比偷渡客强点是因为他们以正当身份进入美国,但在签证过期后过期滞留,等大赦拿绿卡.在唐人街洗碗的博士博士后不计其数,有时即便偷渡客都可以以计划生育为借口申请政治避难绿卡.64绿卡那一代更幸运.但他们不行,美国的黑户连买车买房都允许,惟独绿卡对他们来讲,是一条跨不过的洪沟,二十年都得等.一般的工作绿卡要每年renew,一旦工作没了,身份就成了第一问题.那些所谓的公民权利是跟他们无关的.所以可以理解那些千辛万苦拿到身份的美国华人曾经的艰辛.
You can say whatever but the fact is it is a lot harder to get an American green card.

Canadians look better than Americans. Many years ago when I visited Chicago from Toronto for the first time, I was surprised by the large size of people, cold and indifferent looks in people's eyes and how people dressed with hardly any style. After being in US for more then 10 years, when I went back to Canada, I am still impressed by how Canadians look more elegant and tasteful on the average.
It is really not necessary to write this kind of articles any more. We just treat another article "Canada is not US" as a joke, but your article is more agrressive. Please delete your article by yourself so that the Chinese in both US and Canada can live easily.
