I'd say mikey's views on this are probably closer to the reality of many Americans than our own as Canadians.

You maybe right when it comes to his viewpoint, but rubecube is right when it comes to the futility of responding to mikey. The only upside is that you might convince someone who has a similar view point, but you aren't going to change his mind. I can't think of a time I've seen him concede a point, retract or admit he was wrong, ever.
