" O Canada" is being replaced by Al Qanada..
In a word: "Envy"
I dated a Canadian for 4 years.
(I lived on the Detroit/Windsor border)
They have a "little brother" complex they love our culture but love to hate us too. Its any easy position because they know that being our neighbor they don't have to worry about being invaded... by anybody. Their brother is the biggest kid on the block.
So its easy to be pacifist.
My guess is that antiamerikan2000 @yahoo.com.ca is one of those Bush haters who defected to Canada, but now can't let it go.
Boycott Canada
"one of those Bush haters who defected to Canada"
I would like to think all those loudmouth Bush haters defected to Canada, but I don't think any of them went anywhere - all talk, no action.
The fact that 80% of them live within 100 miles of our border is indicative of just how dependent they are on our economy. That dependence must engender a great deal of ill will and jealousy.
Canadians can wait up to 6 months just to get an MRI. People die waiting to find out what's wrong with them. A private company tried to reduce this wait time by setting up a chain of MRI clinics but was shut down by the state. Not good to compete with the government. What a mixed up country.
I would boycott Canada but they have nothing I want in the first place.
Good analogy.
HE probably thinks he's really sly taking money out of Ameri "Kan" pockets on the low-down while really hating us so. I used to work with a guy like that. "I don't want citizenship. I just want to make my money, get my experience, and go home so I can continue to p!ss in the water you drink."
This was well over 10 years ago.
Aready doing that..
What's Canada?
Obviously P**** Envy...
Generally speaking - for not All Canadians hate the U.S....
Canada's hate envy has been going on for years - even prior to 9/11 - it is only being understood now by American people who never gave it a thought before.
That is one of the problems as Canadians see it, the U.S. never gives Canada a thought. Why should we? I dunno.
It would seem Canada has had more attention in the more recent years over their tantrums to do with NAFTA, Iraq, Fox News, their open doors to terrorists, and all things anti-American. Yet NAFTA has built up many of their much needed industries - compare Oshawa with Detroit some time.
Look at a Kleenex Box. It is as if they feel they are doing us a favor by having any trade at all.
They make it known to far and wide they completely ignore the U.S. for vacations unless necessary trips for business and family are made. They poke about visiting Cuba all the time because we cannot go there. Such silly people, with such mundane goals.
Their perceived competition with the U.S. has given them new spirit and a word they deny - patriotism - which is unheard of.
You see, it is easy to love yourself when you can turn your hate on another.
They have no identity. Canadians in their earliest years were European, British, or French - with a few Chinese and Japanese thrown in. They messed up their Native Peoples, and kept their ties to the Crown for which they pay dearly - the most expensive crumpets and tea in the country.
They scream how acceptable they are when venturing into other lands by identifying themselves as Canadians "not Americans" - and that is how they feel about themselves.
We are NOT AMERICANS.
Sad isn't it - to have to plow down a neighbor to feel comfortable within your own identity?
They call it Cana-DUH for a reason.
Someone once described the average Canadian as being like that lonely geek in an upstairs apartment that looks down on the apartment below where the cool parties happen and everyone has fun, upset that he never gets invited.
If some Canadians got whacked in a terrorist attack, this opinion would change overnight.
It's really ironic that a bunch of tories kicked out of the U. S. after the revolution have become
socialists.
