You're generalizing an opinion of "Americans" based on an interview with a dozen or so people

I dont think anyone can be that dumb i think maybe the stress(exitment of being on TV) is making these people miss the obvious.
bingo. stick a camera in someones face and start grilling them with trivia....if your not used to having a camera in your face its going to be difficult. your being put on the spot

plus they are using what... 10 people to prove a point... a point about roughly 310 million people...yea its slightly skewed,

plus plus, who knows how many people they intereviewd that answered their questions right. reports like this prove nothing except how easy it is to manipulate answers

That's because most of the world doesn't really take Canada and it's "influence" seriously h:

I like watching Rick Mercer, his segment that he used to do called "Talking To Americans" was so funny yet so sad as to how we view Canada.
