Speaking of reasons to be proud of being Canadian over the last twenty years.
I've been abroad now for the last two years or so, (Asia) and while I talk to a lot of Asians obviously, I alos talk to a lot of people from many many other countries.
Things I get told about Canada:
"It's a very beautiful Country."
"You have lots of tree's"
"You're in Iraq, aren't you?"
"At least your not American"
"You were at D-Day?"
"Wow, there's actually 30 million of you?"
"I suppose it's probanly nice there, but your not very free, and taxes are two high"
"Ohh yes, your multicultualism and peacekeeping are fantastic, more countries should be like you".

Which one of these do you think has not been told to me?
What is Canada seen as abroad?
A nice enough place to look at, but doesn't ever actually do anything.
as HOZ says, Yah for mediocracy.

I'm not sure I get your point here. People in Asia don't know much about Canada? They don't think we "do anything"? What exactly is it that we are supposed to do that your average person in Asia would take a lot of notice in?
