They probably think we're a bunch of Shatner-stealing Mexico-touchers. ;) Seriously, though, I haven't really run into that in the Canadians I've met. Most of them certainly prefer their country to ours, but don't seem that interested in plugging it unless I ask. It's an interesting sort of patriotism, rather different from the "rah rah, love us or else, we can kick your asses" attitude that passes for patriotism here.
