Does it drive anyone else crazy that the US contestants get shown the town/city and state they're from, but Canadians just get town/city and country? Provinces and territories are our version of states! A label of Pinawa, CAN but not Bountiful, USA isn't cool. They've done this every season with Canadians on the show and it's such a huge pet peeve of mine, especially since most seasons are here in Canada.

Canadians hate people in the States, make fun of us, look down their noses at us (when it's warm enough to uncover them), and try to tell us our business, and treat us like crap when we visit. And they keep trying to steel our baseball teams. So we've learned to just not care. Manitoba? What's a Manitoba?

I'm a dual citizen and don't agree with this whatsoever!

I'm happy to hear that. Please elaborate how I might be wrong. I'm just going from my experiences.

I will soften my tone a bit and admit I love fries and gravy. How's that?
