Someone I know who worked in Australia once said that when they weren't sure if someone was American or Canadian, they'd ask if they were Canadian. The reasoning behind this was that in their experience if they called a Canadian an American the former would get mad, while if they did the opposite the American would just laugh it off. There is a fundamental insecurity  held by many Canadians that they need to be as different from America as possible, even though the US and (non-french) Canada are some of the most similar places on earth from a cultural standpoint.
