Again, you are talking about a regional difference. There are not many in Ontario who would agree with you. Granted, the use of this term in the U.S. is that of a blanket term. Perhaps Canada is once again being influenced by its neighbor to the south (mostly). Cliff.

I'm in Ontario, and I agree with Rod & SC Smith - Canuck refers to all Canadians & is not derogatory. See also 'Crazy Canucks' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Canucks. Maisie also referred to the 'Yanks' in her original message - was she just referring to New Englanders?

I am certain that you will find many here in Texas who would be absolutely revolted at being called "Yanks". You may want to come down here and try it yourself ;-) Or in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, etc.. We are proud to be Americans, but Yankees? NO! Cliff.
