Anti-Canadian sentiment

Anti-Canadianism is hostility towards the government, culture, or people of Canada.

Historical examples

In 2001 in Brazil people boycotted Canadian goods to protest a Canadian ban of Brazilian beef imports, reportedly because of fears of mad-cow disease.[1]

After a 2015 diplomatic row between Saudi Arabia and Canada, an article in Canada's National Post suggested a smear-campaign targeting Canada in Saudi media. An al-Arabiya segment accused Canada of human rights abuses.[2]

As a result, the easiest way to discredit Canada would be to find evidence of us similarly jailing political dissidents. On Monday, the Saudi-owned TV channel Al Arabiya ran a segment on the allegedly appalling conditions in Canadian prisons. Amid claims that 75 per cent of Canadian detainees die before standing trial, the segment also claimed that University of Toronto professor Jordan Peterson is a Canadian prisoner of conscience. Peterson certainly has his qualms with the Canadian justice system; he first rose to prominence as a critic of an Ontario law regarding gender expression. But the professor remains a free man."
