There are some Americans who live near Canada who have strong opinions about Canadian retirees. This is because some Canadians decide that they would prefer to retire here in the U.S. and so after their last day of work they begin to look for a home in the States. There are some that are not very happy with what they would probably call the Canadian invasion.
It's Called A Line, Stand In It With The Rest Of Us
Canadian retirement planning must be the easiest process in the world that does not involve standing in any lines because when Canadian retirees get to the United States they act like they have never seen a line before. No you cannot get in front of me. Yes you have to get at the back of the line like everyone else. No I do not care that you fought side by side with our US troops in the Korean War.
It's The Vertical Pedal On The Left
Road rage is a very common thing in America. There are huge differences in the driving habits of people from different areas and Americans really lack patience with that. When others come from other countries and bring their driving habits with them it can be quite an annoyance for natives who are on the road with them. Perhaps they would feel the same if we were driving in their country.
Road rage doesn't seem to be quite as big a problem in other countries. In most places honking your horn is merely a way of letting someone know you are there or that you have the right of way. The horn is not used as a way to insult or complain about another persons driving. That may be why when Americans lay on their horn to express their frustration Canadians seem to be oblivious to any problem and continue doing what they are doing.
Shop In Your Own Malls!
It is impossible to find a parking spot in American malls in border towns because all of the spots are taken up by cars with Canadian license plates on them and a "sexy grandma" bumper sticker. Christmas shopping has become a near international incident in our local malls and if one more Canadian cuts me off in the mall walkway and acts like they never saw me standing there and walking in the same direction then I may escalate that international incident to an act of war. Now that their money is worth a little more than ours I am sure that this will only get worse long before it gets better.
