Canadians’ psychological defense against living next to the giant United States is sanctimony: “at least we are nicer than they are!”

I know Toronto very well. The older parts of the city are OK, but most of the area is a faceless, cheap, urban sprawl. Certainly in Toronto area, people are not at all “nice,” it being a large city, very expensive, hugely flooded with immigrants - and thus has no overriding character at all, except post-modernism and domineering globalist/leftist sloganeering. Canadians are heavily taxed, which makes many of them poorer than they should be, and personally, I don’t think their vaunted health-care system is that great - at least not according to my friends’ whose parents are waiting for hip replacements or heart stents.

I certainly love parts of Canada, its overall an advanced country, and have many friends there, but I’m tired of the lies and self-righteousness one gets from people like this author.

Your observations about the supercilious anti-Americanism of Canadians is in keeping with what I've seen on You Tube videos with Canadians and their raving about their vaunted ‘’free health care’’ with they feel makes them morally, economically and politically superior to every form of life and culture on the planet.
