Canadians are portrayed as hockey loving, beer chugging rednecks. They are polite but anger very quickly when you don't like their beer. They all have missing teeth wear flannel shirts and hockey jerseys with a beaver on the front. There s long winters, maple syrup and Zamboni driving around everywhere. We are to nice for our own good and must be planning world domination or something. Everyone has a touque on their head, snowshoes and carry skis. We walk through the city with a conoe on our back.
The Americans are portrayed as angry war loving phsyco's. they love money and are in economic despair because they don't have a war to fight. They are looking for a fight and see the Canadians as a easy target. They are portrayed as ignorant to all other cultures. The president is an idoit and the country is really led by his advisors.
Almost all of the portrayals are accurate. In most cases they arnt wide spread and some are a little exaggerated. Most canadians and Americans don't act like their stereotypes but some do. You can always find somebody who fits there stereotype. The American do seem to love war and they are the melting pot of the world. Canadians do drink a lot of beer and love their hockey. Ya lots of these do happen in other movies. They are stereotypes so they are going to show up in other movies. strange brew had a lot of the same stereotypes.
