This is absolute nonsense. I have lived in Europe, traveled through Europe
and worked in Europe. I have never - not once - ever seen, met or heard of
an American who pretended t be a Canadian while abroad. It's one of the
canonical lies that Canadians with inferiority complexes concoct to make
them feel bigger than they actually are.

Another one is: Canadian passports are worth more on the black market
(they aren't).

Really, it's time for you idiot canucks to come up with better lies.
