As for the 'I. Am. Canadian.' remark.  That comes from ads produced for 
Molson's brewing targeted at Canadian only audiences.  U.S. border towns 
can pick up the adds too through the air waves.  A very successful ad 
referred to as 'The Rant' got a few U.S. Americans upset. Well, 
according to a Portland Oregon newpaper.   It plays off the view 
Canadians have about the U.S. of A. and vise versa.  I suspect what 
really bugged the U.S. Americans was the suggestion that they do not 
live in the best country of the world.  Da!

Speaking as a "U.S American" who saw the 'The Rant' ad, I thought it was
hilarious.  And I suspect that not very many U.S. citizens got that upset
about it. I also suspect that the on-going timber and logging trade battles
had more to do with the Oregonians being short tempered about any kind
Canadians comments. (I'm sure tempers are short on both sides of the border
on that one.)

As for thinking that the U.S. is the best country in the world... Well, of
course we think that. Don't Canadians think the same thing about Canada and
the English about England and the French about France? ;-)  And we're all
right, of course. :-)
