Don't Blame Me, I'm Canadian

No, I'm not actually Canadian, but when I visit Europe, no one has to know that, thanks to these t-shirts. I'm definitely going to buy a couple for the next time I have to go to England.

This is actually an old technique of Canadians. Even in the 80's while a kid Canadians had this image of ourselves as sort of beloved while Americans were disliked. Almost everyone I knew who traveled overseas wore maple leaf t-shirts or had Canadian pins of various sorts.

On the other hand I have been told that "arrogant Canadians" in various countries have hurt the image. I don't know if that is true (not having really traveled overseas much due to time issues of travel).

Of course were I to travel overseas I probably would get a bunch of Canadian gear to wear. (Having a Canadian accent and naturally adding eh to every few lines probably helps as well)
