Dunno, go overseas and tell people you’re either Canadian or American and measure the response
I visited an American working friend in Russia around the turn of the century. If asked, like by our cab driver, he’d say he was Canadian. They would then nastily trash Americans. The Cold War made both populations suspicious of if not just hate the other but the Russians have had the hate reinforced stronger and harder by their government.
Other countries, there’s not as much anti-American bias. Well, there wasn’t. Now, I expect it’ll spread for different reasons.
Americans pretending to be Canadian while on vacation is a trope that extends beyond Russia.
Yeah, i remember during the Iraq war years there were a suspicious number of Canadian backpackers
