    Sure seems like people from other countries have more interest in the U.S. than U.S. citizens have for other countries. Not sure why that is. Maybe the entertainment (movies/music/etc.)? 
    I can only speak for myself as a canadian, but a lot has to do with the entertainment we consume, yes. not just movies and music, but the TV watch. we see american political ads more than our own. We see more american news than we do our own. 

    the US, historically, has put itself into a position of high scrutiny by way of foreign policy, so it's only natural that other nations are interested in their politics. 

    I also think 9/11 had a lot to do with how intersted people became in the US. I know I never watched one single solitary second of american news until that happened (maybe accidentally after the simpsons) and I watched so much of it for the ensuing weeks and months, that it changed my viewing habits. the reach of US politics is global. Not so for most other nations. 

    you also don't see happening what is happening in the US anywhere else in the western world. Brexit was a massive deal when that was happening. People were focused on Britain and the EU. But we're all fixated on the US more, because, well, there is so much happening at any given time it's kind of hard to ignore. 
    I always thought that entertainment had a lot to do with it. Didn't realize you guys were subjected to so much American news though. 

    As for 9/11, I could see how that would garner interest. And you're right that U.S. politics are global. That's why it's such a shame that Trump is in charge. Thought it's not fair, I could understand someone across the ocean thinking that we all must be insane if Trump is our leader.

    I'm not sure why anyone gets all amped up about our Canadian friends engaging in our political discussion.  While I may disagree with @BS44325 , I don't recall anyone saying he shouldn't post because he is Canadian (maybe they did, but I would vehemently disagree)  I'm baffled by this whole line of discussion.  In this forum, why would someone's country be relevant at all to the discussion?
    to be fair, I recall H2M, on a number of occasions, referring to BS's citizenship in a less-than-complimentary way.

    Mike Myers' book

    https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/before-wayne-and-dr-evil-an-excerpt-from-mike-myerss-new-book-canada/article32363211/

    Growing up in Toronto, the local American TV we got was from Buffalo. The highlight of Buffalo TV was, of course, the legendary Irv Weinstein.

    Irv was the main newscaster for Eyewitness News on channel 7. He is a folk hero in Toronto. Ted Baxter-like, yet much smarter and way more tasteful. He was the ultimate anchorman. To us in Toronto, it seemed like Buffalo was constantly on fire. We marvelled at Irv Weinstein’s ability to come up with synonyms for firefighters. For example, he could say, “Buffalo firefighters today battled a three-alarmer in an abandoned rooming house at Lackawanna and Main.” In the next story, it would be, “Buffalo blaze-busters tackled a massive electrical fire in an abandoned factory near Grand Island.” Or it could be, “Buffalo smoke-eaters today are still battling an unyielding inferno in an abandoned carpet store in Tonawanda.” All the stories ended the same way: “Arson is suspected.”

    Similarly, it seemed to us in Toronto that there was a 24-hour-a-day running gun battle happening on the streets of Buffalo. When I was old enough to steal beer, we developed a drinking game. Everyone had to take a sip of Molson Export every time Irv Weinstein said, “Arson is suspected” or “the suspect died later of multiple gunshot wounds.” On one humid August evening, there were so many fires and gun battles in Buffalo that I almost gave myself alcohol poisoning.

    When there was a snowstorm, my brothers and I would watch Buffalo TV and be jealous of Buffalo schoolchildren as the newscasters read out the names of schools that were closed because of the snow. We never had snow days! Equally upsetting was Kentucky Fried Chicken. How is it that a state that was one-10th the size of my province, Ontario, had a dish named after it, especially one that was so delicious that my father claimed it had a chemical in it that made you crave it every two weeks. Equally puzzling was Colonel Sanders. Why was he a colonel? Later, I found out that he was a Kentucky colonel, which is an honorary title. My dad, however, a critic of the Vietnam War, said, “Colonel Sanders? The Americans have even managed to militarize chicken.”

    It was also a travesty that you would see toys advertised on American TV that were not sold in Canada. And if the toy was sold in Canada, the announcer would give the price and then a super-sped-up announcer would tack on, “Canadian orders add 10 dollars.” Canadian orders add 10 dollars? That’s not fair! Even less fair was when that same sped-up guy would say, “Not available in Canada.” Cruel.

    We were obsessed with the Buffalo accent – the way the word top sounded like “tap.” The word dollar sounded like “daller.” They worshiped “Gad,” and they loved their “dyad” and “mawm.” I’m sure they would pay “tap daller” to see their “dyad” hanging out with “Gad.”

    But of course, Canadians have an accent too. Some Canadians think the Canadian accent is, by its nature, the absence of an accent. As if the Canadian accent is zero on any given accent-measurement scale. They are deluded. The Canadian accent has its own vowel sounds, lexicon and pronunciations. For example, in the Canadian accent, process sounds like PROH-sess; milk can sound more like melk; margarine is pronounced mar-jer-EEN, like wolverine; tiger can slip into tagger; decals become deckles. Canadians pronounce New Orleans as New Or-LEENS. In Canada, pasta is pronounced paasta, like Mount Shasta, and you’ll eat the leftovers to-MORE-oh, not tuh-MARR-ow. Your mother is not your mom, but your mum, and if she’s a sex worker, she’s not a whore, she’s a hoo-er.

    That's an interesting distinction for sure.  I'd have to think deeply on that.  Under the argument of "what happens in the US affects the world", there's an argument for.  But it's our blood and treasure.

    I think everyone on the face of the planet has every right to say whatever they like about US military involvement overseas, and that they would have every reason and justification to. I'm surprised anyone needs to give that a second thought.

    When it’s your citizens dying, getting maimed and adding huge costs to your nation’s health care system and the cost is sucking resources away from education, infrastructure and tax breaks or a PTSD person shoots up a public space or kills their spouse and kids and you know people who have served and were negatively impacted, yea, its a whole other matter.

    Nobody has a problem with the canadians participating in the discussion... or my Swedish friend

    But, having the same group of Canadians constantly bash, stereotype, and name-call my country and it's people, therefore stereotyping me in the process, gets a little fucking old. 

    This is a beautiful country filled with beautiful people, it's frustrating to see people lazily stereotype a country of 325 million people... and it is the same group of canadians, and the swede, who constantly do it. Educate yourself or find a new schtick, uf not dont get your feelings hurt when there is push back. That's all i'm saying

    Oh well. Tough shit that you don't like it I guess. It probably would suck when you COMPLETELY mischaracterize what we say like that. Of course your panties are in a twist when you're pretending that we're lazily stereotyping every single American in the country, lol. And if you're pretending we don't know what we're talking about and don't know America. And that our feelings are hurt (That sounds a lot like you right now!). You're simply wrong on all counts, so this seems like your problem, not ours. If you can't see that, don't get your feelings hurt when we talk about the US.
    What seems to escape some of you is that we actually care about America and what happens there - if we didn't we wouldn't talk about it or think about it or learn about it anywhere near as much.
    Also, it's the same group of Canadians and one Swede because we're the only group of Canadians and one Swede who regularly post in the AMT, lol.

    My feelings aren't hurt. Call me down as much as you want.

    From the sounds of this post and several others of yours... it sounds like your feelings are a little hurt though.

    Your country elected a f**king moron. Deal with it. Don't sit there and say, "Hey. Just cuz we elected a f**king moron... that doesn't mean we're morons." Because... actually... it does.

    no one is "stereotyping your country". or name calling. 

    how is anyone stereotyping you if you aren't a trump supporter? explain that one to me. 

    "educate yourself". ha. good one.

    But, having the same group of Canadians constantly bash, stereotype, and name-call my country and it's people, therefore stereotyping me in the process, gets a little fucking old. 

    This is a beautiful country filled with beautiful people, it's frustrating to see people lazily stereotype a country of 325 million people... and it is the same group of canadians, and the swede, who constantly do it. Educate yourself or find a new schtick, uf not dont get your feelings hurt when there is push back. That's all i'm saying
    My feelings aren't hurt. Call me down as much as you want.

    From the sounds of this post and several others of yours... it sounds like your feelings are a little hurt though.

    It means we have a bunch of morons, not that we're all morons.  The vote wasn't unanimous.

    this distinction is important. i mean, seriously, 20% of the country voted for him. it's ridiculous to call everyone morons.

    And we have never said that, and that is why it's so off-side that my2hands is accusing us of it (up until Thirty's bad post here, hahaha, but I think we do all know that Thirty also doesn't think that all Americans are morons. He was just trying to make some kind of point.... hyperbole I would say, Definitely not helpful, lol).

    But look, my2hands' position is that "America is just fine." He really seems to want everyone to admit that. Obviously very few or none of us are even close to thinking that. So my2hands, you're never going to be satisfied with our position.

    Actually Thirty Bills's implication is that we are all morons, that's why I made my comment.
