France is the absolute worst for this. I once spent ten minutes in a bar trying to figure out who ‘Kenny West’ was… I kept asking my friends if they’re sure that’s how the name is pronounced.

It was Kanye. He even says his name in most of his own songs…

Je t’en prie, mon fiston.

I don’t know about that… In my family of Canadians there was always a little bit of anti-American sentiment growing up. Culturally, while close, there are definitely differences. They used to come up during salmon season and cheat the system by catching over the limit and canning it at night so the authorities couldn’t count their catch. I would never say that all Americans are bad people, but the ‘fuck you, I got mine’ attitude seems to be much more prevalent south of the border.
