Hey, I was doing my best to stay out of this thread...
I understand what you're saying, SeattleFlamer, and I agree that I won't ever "get" the inferiority complex, if that's what you (not me) want to call it.
I love Canada, I have family there, as well as friends that I've met through this board. I could live there in a heartbeat. I root for their teams and athletes in every situation that doesn't involve defeating U.S. teams/athletes. I follow Canadian pop culture, politics, etc. With that said, I obviously have a stake in the game.
If I discuss anything Canadian with "typical" Americans, they really couldn't care less. I agree that many see Canada as "U.S.A. Lite", but I'll likely never understand the need to compare the two.
Of course, when we eventually become MexAmeriCanada, it won't really matter. We'll be one big, happy, homogenous gumbo.
