THIS IS A BEST ANSWER\n\n\nJames Naismith was the Canadian physical education instructor who invented basketball in 1891. James Naismith  was born in Almonte, Ontario and educated at McGill University and Presbyterian Cllege in Montreal. He was the physical education teacher at McGill University (1887 to 1890) and at Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts (1890 to 1895). At Springfield College (which was then the Y.M.C.A. training school), James Naismith, under the direction of American phys-ed specialist Luther Halsey Gulick, invented the indoor sport of basketball.

I was unaware Canadians hated US people, with exception to the French Quarter. I was in Canada and was treated very kindly by almost everyone I met. They are the most, laid back, easy going people I have ever seen and just being around them reduces stress. I don't agree with what you stated but I am sure people have had other experiences. Mine were wonderful and I really want to go back. It was the best vacation I ever had, eh?. Thank you for asking, eh?

In Canada, we seem to have our jokes about the "newfies" the people from Newfoundland which is on the East Coast of Canada. \n\neg:  So this Newfie drove to Toronto, and saw the exit sign that said "Toronto left", so he turned around & went back to Newfoundland.

I think people need a 'dose' of better spelling too.  And please don't blame us Canadians for that one too.

It is not too hard to understand.  Winter is coming in Canada and they had to do something to look good to avoid being sent back to canada when the snow flies.

I personally like Canadians and think it is perfectly ok to assume an american persona when drunk. This is also good for america as we europeans believe them to be religious fanatics and it would give them some good press if we thought they could cut loose, throw up in the street and start a punch up like all us normal people.
