I see Americans and Canadians as equally patriotic/nationalistic. It's just expressed in different ways, IE we don't need to have a flag on our desks to realize we love our country.

You intimated that all Americans have flags waving outside of their homes, and on their desks, and have great big American-flag Cosby sweaters that they wear all the time. This is silly, of course, and a stereotype. Its a stereotype of a nation, not a culture or ethnicity. Meanwhile you said that Canadians don'y NEED to have flags on their desks to realize they love their country, implying that Canadian patriotism is somehow better or more pure and that Americans need to constantly remind themselves to love their country. This makes the comment extremely NATIONALISTIC.
I really don't see what was so confusing about it that it needed to be explained further...
