31. Canadians like Americans, have an affinity for them, and know they are not the government.

Blue Americans will be welcomed. Feel free to wear an American flag pin, for example. But a big flag tshirt might get raised eyebrows. If you like places with good gun control, healthcare paid by sales taxes, and a multi-cultural milieu, Canada is the place for you.

Red hatters generally will be served professionally and coolly, though of course 15% will cheer them.

Of course I don't speak for all Canadians or even some of them and I haven't conducted surveys or gone undercover in American garb. Everyone's experience will be different and it is possible to have a bad time. If a guy is pre-disposed to abuse hotel staff, they are likely to do it anywhere and have a bad time anywhere. But I'm pretty sure we're all hungry for tourist dollars, which are untariffed.
