Sushi sucks...there is nothing good about it.
Arrested Development was not funny...at all.
Eco-terrorists are just as heinous as any oil company...maybe more so.
Canadians do have an inferiority complex when it comes to the USA, and it's palpable.

Sushi rocks...there is plenty good about it.
Arrested Development is funny...very funny.
Eco-terrorists have to stand up for themselves...as know one else will.
Some Canadians have a superior complex when it comes to the USA, and it's growing.

Amazing comedy series.

While Central Park has a variety of areas, the majority of it is intentionally cultivated to be used by people, be it for picnics or softball games. For Fish Creek the intention is for the area to remain relatively close to its original state, with use by people being a secondary pursuit.

People who buy in the outer boondocks suburbs like Tuscany, Auburn Bay, Chapparel should stay there on the weekends. Don't come down and clog up the roads and sidewalks in the trendy, cool neighbourhoods like Inglewood, Kensington and Marda Loop. We paid a premium to live in those kind of neighbourhoods, and you didn't, so get lost.
You made your bed, now you eat at Applebees beside it.

Then they should be arrested, tried and jailed.

What's that ivory tower like inside anyhow?

Well since you said it, I'd love to hear the examples you'd cite of this. I actually think it's the exact opposite.

Right, but inferiority complex assumes we deep down feel we're inferior. What do Canadians have to feel inferior about?
Better economy? Check
Better health care? Check
Less violence? Check
Less debt? Check
More functioning government? Check
3 month election cycles versus 4 year cycles? Check
Better human rights? Check
More respected internationally? Check
No Donald Trump? Check
Americans have the edge in the superficial (entertainment, sports etc...), but otherwise there isn't much where Canada is inferior to America. If anything Canadians are guilty of looking down at Americans a lot, which is indicative of a superiority complex.

I think the question of the "Canadian inferiority complex" is a Rorschach test.

Americans have a superiority complex when it comes to anyone, and it is beyond palpable.

I think there are examples of it all over this board. There are posters here who take every chance they get to take a shot at the US and Americans in general.
I'm not sure if it's an inferiority complex or what, but I've found a rising degree of ugly smugness among Canadians in regards to the US. It's actually pretty embarrassing.

How about being a country that the rest of the world actually cares about? Canada is a great country, better than most in many ways, but let's not pretend that we aren't still a small player globally and that the US is anything but Goliath.

Could that possibly be the many years of American's views/attitudes/actions towards Canadians?

Sure they do, but I believe that Canadians' are becoming incredibly arrogant.
