I think a lot of Canadians are frustrated that Americans overall don't seem to care enough to change their country. We can't do it, they are the only ones who can. Was talking about this subject with a few friends on the weekend and someone brought up the point that a lot of the people he had met down there didn't like the ways things were but that they were resigned to it. They didn't think it could be helped or changed. That disempowering attitude is disconcerting to anybody who isn't in the most powerful country in the world and is concerned about where the US is leading us and the example they are setting for the rest of the world.
What a hypocritical stance that would be for Canadians to take.

We know what Americans ought to be doing but they're not willing to do it and for this we look down on them.

Meanwhile, back in our own barn the sheeple baaaa endlessly.
