Rednecks can safely be ignored.
Americans pick on Canadians ? I didn't know that. I rescued a refugee from The Maritimes 40 years ago and have not picked on her one time !! Once she figured out the indoor plumbing, she fit in rather nicely. Of course, I had to buy her a pair of shoes so she didn't come to our wedding barefoot.
On a serious note, a regional job will serve the same function for an Aussie that it does an American: steppingstone...just passin' through on the way to bigger and better.
