As someone with Canadian clients, please never actually say this out loud.

Canadians are their own special group.

They're America's hat.

Is Alaska a ponytail then? Or is it like a backward baseball cap type of hat?

He isn’t English. He is saying that from the perspective of an Aussie or Canadian. I’m half American, and agree a bit with you. But take issue with some slack jawed yank calling people Limey. And I have no ancestral reason to side with the English.

You ruined your point by issuing a slur that’s about a whole peoples. And one that’s about 100 years out of date as well. So, bravo.
