Actually that's quite true, or it was for a while. The film starring John Candy titled, "Canadian Bacon," poked fun at that whole concept.

I don't remember the plot anymore, but I know a few Americans were extremely upset with Canada and Canadians for some reason. They ended up driving up north with a van that had, "Fuck Canadians!" / "Fuck Canada!" and other slanderous logans spray painted onto the side. Police officer pulls them over, makes them step out of the van and write all that again in French on their vehicle. :P
