I guess I could bury this thing in the trash vancouver or yay! vancouver thread but thought it deserved it's own thread because it stirs an even greater debate about our national pride or lack there of.
I personally couldn't agree with the author more. I think in our haste to humble ourselves so that we don't get perceived like "arrogant americans" we do ourselves a great disservice. Canada is arguably the greatest country in the world to live in. It has many of the benefits (opportunity etc...) of living in the USA blended with a solid amount of social programs for those that fall through the cracks. I think we deserve to brag every once and a while, and this is one of those times.
