We've become what we thought we hated most. Canada has been assimilated and there was no resistence.

You know, I think we're just like the UK. I mean, we speak the same language, have the same political and judicial system, hell, we have the same head of state, we have very similar values, opinion polls usually match closely between the countries, our alliances are the same. We're basically Brits in disguise!
There are many things that make us different from the Americans, the Brits, the Mexicans, the Chinese, the Sri Lankans. We're our own country. Can't we leave it at that? Why must we always have the silly "us verses the Americans" argument?
