 Why boo the Americans? At the USA vs. Finland game at the World Juniors hockey tournament in Vancouver, the crowd loudly booed the Americans.
Why? These are KIDS.

Americans have done the same thing to Canadians before.

Because sooner or later, those kids will grow up to become pesky adult Americans which will still deserve booing..
Wild guess?

We all have to remember just because you are from a certain country does not necessarily make you the bad guy. I for one really dislike many of my governments policies & I truly dislike Bush, but there is not anything I can really do about Bush or his policy making right at the moment. I voted for Kerry, but to many other Americans complain, but don't get out & vote for who they feel would be best for the country, nor is there always a bright shining beacon of a candidate, but we can pick the lesser of the two evils by voting.
Remember, governments don’t always (most the time they don’t) represent the average Joe.

overgeneralizations suck.
i sing along to the canadian national anthem.... sans hat...hand on heart.... can sing it in french and english.... everyone i know is the same way..... ive NEVER been to a game when the canadian national anthem was booed.
i have had people throw drinks at us at the bell center simply because we were bruins fans.... but do i say canadians are rude or whatever...no

And even if does end up proving true in time, the fact is, that these guns are being smuggled across the Canadian border by Canadian criminals therefore it's a Canadian problem.
