And the moral is, the cabbie couldn't tell the difference until you told him. Prejudice bastard. Or is that racism Kenmore?

No, not at all. That was a totally obtuse statement. The moral of the story is that Americans are not embraced by the natives of the countries they visit. Canadians are.

But you weren't until you informed him. So he couldn't tell the difference. Which means you acted as bad as an arrogant American. For shame.

My parents and grandma both have been to Cuba numerous times and they all say they like the fact there are few American's. They also go to other Central America countires were there are lots of Americans vacationing, so they have that comparison.

[Invader_Tak]

Come on canucks, let's get real with each other now. Although the prejudiced explanation that Americans are all crass and loud may be good enough for some, any intellectually honest Canadian knows the real reason why some aren't happy about Americans invad... er, vacationing in Cuba...


Cubans would confuse Canadians for Americans in this part of the world now too!

The last time their currency tanked they had to make the us dollar their legal tender to save the economy,those evil Americans and their dollars.

In 1993, during the period of economic austerity known as the Special Period, the US dollar was made legal tender to encourage hard currency to enter the economy. The dollar became the currency used to purchase some non-essential goods and services, such as cosmetics, and even non-staple kinds of food and drink. In 1994, the convertible peso was introduced at a par with the dollar. On 8 November 2004, the Cuban government withdrew the U.S. dollar from circulation, citing the need to retaliate against further U.S. sanctions.

Good for Cuba if this works out.

I don't have anything against Americans but I kinda liked the fact that there were none when I went to Cuba.

If the ban is lifted, there will be MacDonald's, KFC's and Starbucks all over Cuba in a few years.

Are you trying to be a troll? We didn't "act" at all. The cab stopped for us and we opened its doors.

Let's see! About a year ago Canadians found huge oil resources off Cuba, I don't suppose this had any influence on the US getting all nice toward Cuba. Fucking two faced hypocrites is what the US is.
