Not really. Canada and the United States have excellent relations and there are extensive people to people ties as well. Canadians don’t need a visa to visit the US, hundreds of thousands of them work in America, including some of the big names in Hollywood like Seth Rogen and Ryan Gosling.

The Gallup Poll mentioned in the article below should help clarify the misconception that Americans don’t like Canadians.

"Forget the Hockey Rivalry. Americans Really Like Canada. - NationalJournal.com](http://www.nationaljournal.com/domesticpolicy/forget-the-hockey-rivalry-americans-really-like-canada-20140220)

February 20, 2014 It may not seem like Americans feel very warmly toward Canada right now. The Canadian women’s Olympic hockey team just beat the American team 3-2 in overtime Thursday to win gold. On Friday, the men’s Olympic hockey teams are facing each other in the semifinals. As Jake Simpson writes for The Atlantic Thursday, Canada has owned the U.S. in Olympic hockey for nearly a century. Americans would really, really like to pull off a victory.

**But don’t let the budding sports rivalry make you think that relations between America and its northern neighbor are fraught. In reality, according to a new poll from Gallup, Americans feel better about Canada than they do about any other country in the world. There may be a rivalry, but it’s one full of love.

Ninety-three percent of Americans have a positive view of Canada, Gallup Editor-in-Chief Frank Newport said in a video published Thursday based on the new 2014 World Affairs polling. That beats out American feelings towards Great Britain (90 percent positive), Germany (81 percent), and Japan (80 percent)."**

The article say “right now”, so was they before hates Canadian? if yes then why?
