As an American, I have never heard this, or have actually met someone this stupid. If you encounter someone like this, take my words and remember that a lot of us are sorry for how stupid some of us are. Some of us are not like this.

And mine. I don't think I've ever heard another American refer to Canada as "America's Hat." I've heard a lot of Brits refer to it that way, but thankfully no American has ever uttered that phrase in front of me. What an awful and annoying thing to say. We're sorry, Canada.

Yeah this is incredibly trashy. I want to visit Canada so bad! It looks a beautiful country. But I’m from Tennessee(US), and I can’t even imagine naming them our “hat” or “another state”. That’s ridiculous

It's easy to imagine, when you remember that nearly 50% of our country identify with a wildly racist, ignorant, and bigoted political party.

I'm from Niagara falls area so a lot of cross border traffic there are definitely people that thing of it as the 51state and I have heard people call Canada America Jr also

We got no beef with the lower 48, but yeah it's a little gross. And Jesus Murphy, not all of us say "eh". 🙄

I've heard this before, but in a sarcastic "I don't actually believe that" way. It's still dumb, and I also apologize for my fellow Americans.

If someone is dumb enough to say it, they’re probably dumb enough to believe it

I worked for a company that was bought by United States Steel USS. During their first meeting with the union they called us snow ni**ers.

Aight sure, we are experts at apologies out here.

For some reason, too many Americans think the US is somehow special. If Americans paid any kind of attention to what has been going on lately (last decade), they'd realize that couldn't be farther from the truth. (PS - I am American....and I'm pretty disgusted with too man of my fellow Americans.)

They are! As someone who lives in a touristy area…they are. But we just threaten to burn down the White House again and they straighten right up! Lol

I'm with them /\

Lol! Someone is being dramatic polymathnecromancer!

I have never heard this! The only thing I ever hear is how much we wish we were Canadian…

I've heard the hat one but not the 51 state one

Relax, it doesn’t happen, it’s a joke. Like when Canadians call America the meth lab in the basement

I'm a Canadian who lives in the U.S., they get sooooo excited when I say "Eh"

Hoser.

If you grew up in Detroit, then you should probably refer to Canadians as our neighbors to the South. ;)

Cooler lol is that a climate joke. If so I 100% approve... but you Detroit guys are pretty friggin cool too.
