One gets the impression that Shirley Phelps-Roper dislikes Canadians:
The article was originally printed in the 29 January issue of the Ottawa Sun.
They visited Canada once, back in 1999, to protest the then-impending gay marriage bill. They even staged a protest in which they planned to burn the Canadian flag. A mountie (RCMP officer) by the name of Kirkland had to show them how to do it properly them because he was afraid they would hurt themselves or someone else if they didn't set the flag on fire properly. A very Canadian response.
“Canada is like the United States, a filthy, perverted, immoral, nation. America is doomed. The Bible prophesied all of this, the end time. God chose America to show the way, the Christian principles, but it’s over, America is collapsing from within. Canada is doomed, too. I was so thankful to get out of your sick country. It has no hope.”

There are many, many Americans who dislike them and very much disagree with the things they espouse. And the WBC is also taking shots at Americans for being too accepting of people they don't like.
