This was a humorous spoof article by Andy Borowitz, yet there is more than a grain of truth to it.
While there might not actually be lessons and classes for Americans to take to try and come across as Canadian while traveling abroad, it nevertheless has become an actual trend, as I understand it, for a growing number of Americans to try and pass themselves off as Canadians when traveling overseas. Mostly, this is because of the negative perceptions of Americans, given both political realities presently in the United States, as well as some negative reputations and stereotypes of too many "Ugly Americans" who too often prove to be the loudest and most obnoxious tourists of all overseas.
This is meant in humor, although again, this does unfortunately appear to be at least loosely based on real trends these days.
