Not entirely true. White Canadians west of Quebec can probably pass for Americans to Americans.
Canadians, btw, very good at telling Americans from fellow Canadians.

Alas, my local Superstore is not carrying President's Choice corn flakes, so I can neither check or buy them if Canadian.
The nearest grocery store to me carries Nature's Path cornflakes, which is a Canadian company whose corn flakes are made in the US.

I used to watch the TV show on the regular; and while I know the actual lyrics, my brother and I used to sing it as "how would you like your eggs today" Did we make this up, or get it from somewhere?

Huh. I'll look at the box the next time I go to Superstore. Most Loblaws branded products don't actually say where they're made; but some of them are definitely made in the US.

Nobody seems to actually manufacture them in Canada though, alas. President's Choice _sells_ them, but they don't sell exclusively made-in-Canada products.

I was never a bourbon drinker; I like single-malt Scotches. I do miss corn flakes, though.

Reporting, even in Canada, keeps describing this as a tariff thing, but as someone living in Canada who talks to a lot of Canadians, nobody is angry about the unprovoked trade war as such, we're angry about threats to our sovereignty.

This is only partly true; it's still difficult to find certain products that aren't made in the US (notably cleaning products and some breakfast cereals) but the liquor went quicker because of Canada's regulations around distribution of booze.

There's also mutual patent acceptance, especially of things like prescription drugs. It's here, but it doesn't have to stay.

Well, I'm a professional baker, so of course I have more than one oven thermometer and I have mentally calibrated all the ovens I regularly have access to, because ovens aren't even but they're usually fairly consistent in how off they are from the temperature you set them to. But, yeah, obnoxious.

My great-great-great-grandfather won the Medal of Honor; maybe I'm a heritage American too? (he abandoned his wife and son in England , I'm descended from the abandoned son, and I emigrated from the UK to Canada) (also he won it in the Indian wars no I'm not proud)
