My God, yes. I've been so vexed with the fandom about this. One of The Things about Hetalia is how Hidekaz somehow plopped a personality on a nation and make the same thing work across hundreds of years. The livelihood and attitudes may change depending on the era, but the personality? Always the same. Sengoku-era Japan and modern Japan are two very different countries, but Honda Kiku is very much the same person. (For example.) I wish more of the fandom would get that.

I started off adoring Canada, but all those fics of AWESOME BADASS or AWESOME UKE CANADA and all the squee on those fics turned me off by default. So sad, Canada!

I would say that their personality isn't the same, you forgot that a part of their personality is part of what their people's attitudes around that time. Yes, even Kiku has changed a bit from a country that was isolated to one that tried to make a name for itself on the world's stage and learning to adjust to the Western culture to one that seemingly can't form his own opinion (and that he's a otaku for cute things).

Canada, on the other hand, it's not surprising that he gets portrayed as an uke due to his passive-aggressiveness and backing down to speak for his self. He IS a woobie, ya know.

As much as we would all love to typecast countries into "one personality", you seem to forget that just because they keep the same attitudes during the eras that Hetalia actually covers doesn't mean they necessarily keep them during the ones it doesn't.

For example, America. Sure, he's cocky and arrogant and an attention whore NOW, but what about...hmmm, the whole period of time UP TO WORLD WAR I. You know, when he was ISOLATIONIST and trying his best NOT to meddle in Europe's affairs. It's not so easy to impose his Hetalia personality on that. Just because the author doesn't cover certain periods in a nation's history doesn't mean they're off-limits to interpretation.
