Please do not claim that this is racist. Do you like some hockey teams better than others, some cars better than others, some types of food better than others? Clearly that are countries that are better than others. IMO Canada is one of the countries that is better than others. I have not doubt that if I had was still in the UK, I would not have the same standard of living I currently have.
So you view all countries the same? The world is a big bad place....there are bad countries.

Well Italy and Ireland aren't really places of unrest or instability.
And I guess it also depends on what you mean by 'better'. It's not like hockey teams where you can look at points. It's not a competition.
Lastly values are different around the world ad they are hardly universal in nature. Besides outright intolerance, how can we judge one set of values to another.
I mean I get where you're coming from, I too get tired of people complaining Canada hasn't made it's contributions or doesn't have anything important going for it. But to say that we're better than another country? Mmmm, sounds kinda intolerant. You may like it better, and that would be an opinion and one that I could get behind in many cases. But that's different than saying that it is in fact better.
