Grampa,
Here in the San Juan Islands we know the Canadian Military & Civilians up close and neighborly. IMHO, trying to pidgeonhole all Canadians as anti-US is like saying all of us agree with the anti-US sentiments found in Berkely, Austin, Ann Arbor, Boulder, etc.

Are you on Orcas, by any chance? A good friend of mine grew up on Doe Bay.
