The most powerful nation in the world, the leader amongst countries should be held to the highest standard. I think that's only natural.
As Canadians we are endlessly affected by the choices the US makes. However we have no vote and no say in these choices. Once again I think it's natural for us to criticize given that we have no actual say in the country that rules this continent.
The US is in the best position to help the entire world. They are in the best position to make progress for humanity. Instead what we see is a lot of selfish interest, greed and ignorance about what's going on in the rest of the world. What we see is a lot of exploitation. I would think EVERYBODY would criticize that.
It's not like the US is well thought of in most of the world. If they cared what people thought, they would act quite a bit diferently. Sure Canada doesn't have all it's crap together either but holding the most powerful country to a high standard should be encouraged IMO.
