hagbard - I'm a Canadian living in the US. I doubt that you really have travelled all that much. I have. First, the places that "hate" Americans don't like Canadians also. They basically consider them one and the same. Most places I've been to like Americans, especially individuals, even if the people don't side with some of the US' political stances.
I was treated better in exactly one country - France. I attribute it to me being from Quebec and speaking French well. Everywhere else it was fairly neutral. I'm a "typical" Canadian, btw. For example, I'm far more polite than the average American I travel with and tend to know more about local history and culture. It doesn't make much different and the Americans I travel with are treated no better or no worse.
