** He titled one of his books "Stupid White Men".

* [[Canada, Eh?]]: In ''Bowling For Columbine'', he compares Detroit to Windsor just across the border, and describes Canada like a paradise.

** During one of his stage shows, he tried to make a point by asking the mingled Canadian and American audience if there were any Americans or Canadians willing to switch their healthcare cards (in an attempt to brag on the superiority of Canadian healthcare). As he'd hoped, no Canadians stepped forward to do so... unfortunately for his point, no ''Americans'' stepped forward either.

* [[Crying Wolf]]: If he hadn't been caught using so much manipulative editing it'd be a lot easier to believe him when he's telling the truth.

* [[Cultural Cringe]]: He has a very low opinion of Americans.
