    I think it might be anti-Canadian stuff. Justin Bieber and Céline Dion got some of the same treatment, though Avril Lavigne and Alanis Morrissette did not.

    Or it’s just a meme.

    Nickelback have never been bad. Boring, maybe. Generic, sure. But a lot of bands are generic and boring sometimes.

    I don’t much care for Hero, but I think the hits off All the Right Reasons (Photograph, Far Away, Rockstar, Animals, etc) were all pretty solid. Never Again is a classic to me, especially the spoken part (“Father’s a name you haven’t earned yet / You’re just a child with a temper / Haven’t you heard don’t hit a lady? / Kicking your ass would be a pleasure”)

      For what it’s worth, I think most Americans just assume that Canadian celebrities are USian until they find out otherwise.

      uhhhh idk I’ve never really heard any serious anti-canadian rhetoric living in the US my whole life… maybe it’s regional?

      all I’ve ever heard is “oh they’re too nice say sorry too much” which I’ve never thought was even a little serious
