Americans don't know much about Canada because Americans aren't taught much about Canada in school.
I bet you guys are taught all about America in school, right? It's because our country is so important to the world. Sorry to break it to you, bro.

No, actually we are taught very little US history and geography in school.

So WTF is your point, then?

My point is that regardless of what you are taught in school you should make a point of having some basic amount of knowledge outside of your freaking city, state, or country.
There is a big beautiful amazing world out there that IMO many Americans miss out on because they can't seem to get the fact that the good old USA isn't the only place of relevence on the freaking planet.

in america, we have no canadian tv channels and canadian sports aren't covered on tv or in newspapers
