The yanks don't give a *&^% about anyone but themselves. Don't anyone ever forget that!
Sure this was a nice piece, but I believe the average Canadian is more grateful of being a neighbor to the Americans then vise verse.
When the fact of the matter is it should be the other way around. The USA needs us more then we need them.
Frankly I am sick and tired of the lack of credit that we get as Canadians. Is it because we are so modest? I'm not exactly sure. Watch fox news for an hour and it will make you lose hope in humanity.
I strongly dislike the whole American attitude and mentality.

So many incorrect generalizations in this post, it's not even worth pointing them out.

....and I wasn't implying that. I was just adding to your post, because it's because somewhat of a CP meme to mention Hitler in threads and then watch people get bent out of shape.

The biggest thing Costas got from that amazing piece was that California has a bigger population?

Canada is like the little brother who tries hard to gain his big brothers appreciation.
The USA is like the big brother who doesn't give a about his little brother and never will.

Who cares? We have a nice country, freedom, resources, space and beautiful scenery. We don't need the appreciation of the States to know that the life we're allowed to live in this country is great.

I've always thought of Canada as being an improved USA in terms of quality of life.
But I've never had hard feelings for the country.

So it isn't like he was always a spy, it was more he volunteered to help the CIA when he saw what was happening.
Quote:
The request that he provide “aggressive intelligence” for the Americans was made personally by U.S. president Jimmy Carter to Mr. Clark, likely in a telephone conversation on Nov. 30, 1979, according to Prof. Wright.
Mr. Clark gave his approval, and informed his foreign minister, Flora MacDonald, who passed the request on to Mr. Taylor. He instantly agreed.

Meh.
You can have a good quality of life down south too. I think Canada and the US are very similar that way.
What I think Canada does better is the whole government and ruling the country thing.

We're more socially liberal, which I love, we have a universal healthcare system although I'd like to see private alongside it to help out the public system like Alberta is trying to do more of, and I don't like that Canada isn't more fiscally conservative.
I love both countries, just glad I live here because of the religious aspect to the US and especially politics.

I agree with everything but the last part. Well I maybe agree to a certain extent, but both governments have their share of problems. Both countries have their divides which makes certain things tough.
I think the U.S.'s problems are more known due to simply the way media currently works, but the sponsorship scandal is definitely one issue that comes to mind when I think of poorly run gov't.
I've lived in both countries, and really to me choosing where to live comes down to hot weather vs. free health care.

I just hate how much the Americans hype themselves on everything they do and have done. It makes me want to puke.
My issue probably isn't with the majority of Americans. Mostly the media and the flag wavin crowd.
