Why do they insist on putting their flags onto their backpacks and
whatnot?

Are you implying that only Americans can be patriotic?

Like you wouldn't be able to tell from their accents!

I assure you that almost no European will be able to distinguish between
the accents of Canadians & Americans. Lots of Canadians sound just
like Midwestern Americans except for the occasional difference in "out"
("oot") as in "about."
