SEATTLE — Evil — a word usually reserved for the likes of Adolph Hitler or Usama bin Laden — is now being used by more than a third of Canadian teens to describe the United States.

In a recent poll, 40 percent of Canadian teens said the United States is a force for evil in the world, with 50 percent saying it’s a force for good and 10 percent reporting they were undecided on the subject. French-Canadians (search) were even harsher, with 64 percent of them calling America a force for evil.

“What they’re reacting to is a sense that the U.S. is belligerent,” said the pollster who conducted the phone survey, Greg Lyle. “The U.S. is sort of bellicose, warmongering [and has] this sort of cowboy diplomacy.”

But former Canadian diplomat Martin Collacot (search) says the teens are responding to cues from their government, the media and their teachers.

The anti-Americanism from the United States' northern neighbors seemed to peak when the Iraq war started.

In one incident, hockey fans in Montreal booed during the playing of the American national anthem. Then-Prime Minister Jean Chretien’s spokesman was caught on mike calling President Bush a moron. And while the streets of Quebec (search) were filled with war protesters, a member of Parliament from the ruling Liberal Party was quoted as saying: “Damn Americans. I hate those bastards.”

Don't they have Al Jazeera in Canada?
It's also a messed up Socialist nanny state. What do expect. The survey should have asked. Do you smoke pot? Do you watch news? Canada doesn't really do much besides natural resource based industry like lumber.

Oooh. The liberal grammer police. I love it. I can't even remember where the hell that post came from. I am glad you are keeping track for me though. I am interviewing for a personal secretary...I will put you ion top of the list.

Since most English teachers are nuts, I guess they might have shared tendencies. My teachers are Teh Grammar Nazis. It's like one spelling mistake makes you an idiot. Believe it or not, a keyboard can affect your typing.

Oh yeah, Canada sucks, just so we can stay OT.

Thing is, I don't even know where that post came from and it isn't even mildly on topic. But, I do appreciate Developer's effort to keep me on track. It;s nice to know someone cares.

I heard about this poll also. From it we can conclude that approximately 50% Of Canadian youth are irrelevent little socialist twirps who are to be ignored, and have nothing rational to bring to the table except for hate, empty rhetoric, and just plain garbage.

All Canadians should be checked more carefully at the border - Half of their unsuccsessful offspring hates the USA, and they are potential threats to our security.

I'd hate to break it to you, but in states that still have freedom of speech, Al Jazeera is still available.

Jealousy. They are 'righteous' liberal bleeding hearts who criticize, yet are quite proficient at inaction. No...I am wrong, they are pretty good at harbouring terrorists.

Al Jazeera is available in the US.

The poll really exposed those fool Canadian teens for the sadly misguided lot they are. Can you believe the 60% who didn't condemn as evil a fool's foreign policy run by an idiot pawn of sheiks and shady business interests? Hello??

Fixed!

Don't speciously misrepresent dislike of the Bush administration with anti Americanism. Sadly, there is a minority base of American conservatives who seem to revel in doing just that; dealing as they do only in absolutes, in the most simplified concepts, seemingly unencumbered by any appreciation of nuance. Perhaps one fine day, oh let's say this November those Canadian youth you so callously disparage will join a majority of Americans in cheering the end of a dismal, albeit thankfully brief chapter in your fine nation's history.

That's funny, I read a lot of hate, empty rhetoric, and just plain garbage coming from you.

You and dcoltan are really xenophobic about Canada. Let me add to it. Did you know Alberta has the second largest oil reserves after Saudi Arabia?


Bwahahahahaaaa!

and making excuses for the inability to write your own language only highlights your own failings.
