Since when was it cooler to be Canadian?

Actor Vince Vaughn on his recent stay in England and the unpopularity of Americans:

Man, it was bad. These girls saw us and were kind of flirting, and they kept asking us if we were American. Finally we said, 'Yes,' and they just took off. One girl turns and says, 'We were hoping you were Canadian.' Canadian? Since when was it cooler to be Canadian?

Greg says: "Welcome to the New World Order, baby."

Heh heh.
