Are U.S. public schools or U.S. spellcheckers to blame?
Jacobson is an American medical sociologist living in Toronto.
I think Canada is a good home for him.
Yeah, we have that here, also. In our high schools, it's called "acting white".
I would guess the result of that kind of thinking is the same.
I don't know why they, and the rest of the world don't just admit it...
It's penis envy!
(can I say that?)
:O)

This must be a minority view among Canadians. Oh, and I suspect the liberal press likes to play up how intellectual it is for thinking Canadians to disdain the U.S. I suspect the average Canadian likes the average U.S. citizen just fine and visa versa.
Here's the $64,000 question: why would blue-state liberals rather move to a frigid land full of snotty, French-speaking, maple-syrup guzzling cheese eaters instead of to Cuba, a tropical island paradise full of happy brown people?
Oh, and by the way, I feel safe living next door to the sheriff too.
"I don't intend to do that, because experiencing the anti-Americanism I've described has been instructive: Living in Canada and coping with it has forced me to confront my own feelings about America. And it's helped me discover what I do value about it: its contradictions, its eccentricities, its expansive spirit, all the intensity and opportunity of a deeply flawed, widely inconsistent, but always interesting country."
Why can't liberals look at anything simply?!
Canadians = Unarmed Americans with lousy healthcare.
McGill university hired a professor in Education from California. At her introduction at a graduation ceremony, she spent her time saying how great it was to be out of the US and how much smarter the Candadians were than US Americans and because of this how important it was that Canandians keep bashing the US.
As far as I could tell, the average IQ of California went up when she and her family left, while that in Candada sunk even lower.
Last week I got a call from a Canadian taking a poll about world affairs. He never did get around to asking me what I though about Canada.
True but not quite...Canada also includes the disfunctional French who are worse than the Muslims as they want to divide the country now, the horrible mosquitos in the summer, and their dreadful freezing winters amid boring flat country. Yikess!!! What a place!

It's resentment that we are powerful and they are not.
And that resentment is unlikely to change unless we have to come to the aid of Canada in a dramatic fashion.
Canadians = French too poor to live in France.
Actually, believe it or not, it's spelled correctly. (The word is derived from "deserve," not what you have after dinner.)
I describe Canada as our big retarded cousin who lives in the attic.
"...boring..."
As regards Canada, that about says it all!
Beat me to it!
