Clarification
Canuck is similar to Yankee in the States (mostly historical) or "sudaca" here in Argentina, as well as numerous other terms that have a neutral or positive connotation within a social or ethnic group, but have the opposite effect when someone from another group uses it.
Americans don't have one word to speak negatively of their northern neighbors. The sad thing is that many view "Canadian" as a pejorative term in itself...
