I was just wondering, is it really true that most Canadian's believe

the
myth that people in the rest of the world will treat them better if

they
know they are Canadian.

Don't Americans pretend to be Canadians while travelling to avoid

being spat
at and abused?



A few years ago while I was in Scotland we visited one of the

fishing ports on
the east coast. All of the fishing boats were flying at least one

Canadian flag
because that was just after the Canadian gov't had kicked the

Spanish off the
Grand Banks for overfishing. Apparently the Spanish fleet had the

same
reputation in European waters as well so the Scottish fishermen were

happy when
Canada took action that they thought their gov't should have been

doing too.

We stayed at B&B's and the biggest apology I ever got was from

an owner who
originally thought we were Americans and then realized we were

Canadian. The
reservation had been made through a district tourist office earlier

in the day
and I guess the person making the reservation said we were American.

This is a common error that most Scots make. We lived in Scotland for
three years and to continuely deal with the problem. One solution that
really worked was when I siad that since I must be Americam then you
must be English. Well the habit of calling us Americans changed
abruptly
and they apologised for making the error. On the otherhand once they
knew we were Canadians we were welcomed with open arms.

Many of the
B&B's in both Scotland and Ireland would ask the person making

the reservation
where we were from. This gave us the impression that certain

nationalities were
less welcome than others.

Perhaps not. In the three yaers we were in Scotland I found on;ly
three
Scots who were not interested where we were from. So as we said we
were
from Canada they wnated to know if we knew there relative who lived in
Toronto or Vancouver etc, We had a good laugh with our Scottish
friends
over that once they realized how big Canada really was.

The Scots are one of the nicest folk we have met in our travels. Once
you have a Scot for a friend you have a friend for life. Cheers
