Americans, Mercer says, have an uncanny ability to talk on and on about things of which they know little. But Mercer says "Talking to Americans" is less about American knowledge of Canada than it is about what Canadians think of themselves. Canadians still wonder what makes them Canadian and whether their country really has any relevance. Often, he says, a Canadian is defined by what he or she is not -- not American, not British, not rude like so many Americans. Mostly, Canadians think of themselves as polite. Sociologist Edgar Friedenberg once said, "Canadians are more polite when they are being rude than Americans are when they are being friendly."
