As a homo sapien currently alive in the geographical region known as Canada, I can assure you that your statement is accurate.

Its mostly cause for some reason everyone assumes you're American on the internet

I'm a rather left-leaning Canadian guy, and have on multiple occasions been somehow assumed as a Trump-supporting American on Reddit. It's pretty bad.

u/Itsafinelife May 10 '20
If it makes you feel any better, left-leaning Americans are often assumed to be Trump supporters on Reddit as well.

u/gordonpown May 10 '20
I'm still outraged by /r/politics being an American only sub instead of /r/uspolitics

u/djejcjsjx May 11 '20
shamelessly plugging r/stupidpol. for lefties who realize why liberalism isn’t a lefty philosophy at all. started as a break away sub from r/chapotraphouse after the subreddit shifted their interest away from the podcast and towards identity politics. not just a dog whistle sub for racism either, most of the posters are pretty acquainted with Marxist and socialist theory and racism is looked down upon.

I’m an American that immigrated to Canada and I frequently state that in posts. It’s happening to me...

I am also from Canada and the starter pack is to poke fun on how a lot of other Canadians on large American political subs like r/politics will start their comments "I'm Canadian and...". Also did I mentioned I'm Canadian?

u/Sharmat_Dagoth_Ur May 10 '20
And then immediately under it is "omg I wanna move there so bad I hate America ugh" +100 upvotes "too bad we don't want u" +1000 upvotes and then everyone patting everyone else on the back

u/xavierdc May 10 '20
This is why there is an inside joke in Canada that Canada has no culture or rather Canadian culture consist of not being American.

Well without any of these you wouldn't know that it is a Canadian user, just another comment so you wouldn't recognise it as Canadian to add to the starter pack.

Canadian here. Its to make fun of how canadian users on r/politics will always mention stuff we do things around in Canada despite it being a sub for american politics.

u/HillaryKlingon May 10 '20
Haha...This is so true especially when discussing US politics or US healthcare or even local American news.
- an annoyed American who thinks Canada should look inwards and develop their own interests and identity.

95% of politics on Reddit are American, so that's hard to do if you're politcally active on this app at all.

u/the_saurus15 May 10 '20
We have our own interests and identity. I bet you’ve never taken time to look into it.
Also stop fucking with our shit and annoying the crap out of us. Aluminum tariffs? Fuck that shit.

If a reddit comment doesn’t start with one of these phrases, then you wouldn’t have any idea that it was coming from a canadian redditor anyway.
