" 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.
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.
What's Canada?
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.
Socialist Canada would not be sh$t without the USA. They rely on the US military to protect thier sorry asses becuse they are too politically correct and are afraid of offending anbody by actually having a military to defend themselves. They are ripe for an Islamofacist takeover and they deserve what they get. We then (the US military) won't have far to travel to drain the swamp.
Canadian high schools are worse than ours.
As an adult, I traveled to Canada on business several times. Before 2000, it was pretty much the same. There was never a problem entering or leaving the country. I would hear a few good-natured “Yank” jokes, but that was about it. “Toronto,” a friend observed, “is New York run by the Swiss.”
The Swiss have left the building.
In 2000 – and note, this was before 9/11 – I had to go to Toronto again on business. I checked with both the airline and the Canadian consulate about required documentation, and both agreed that a passport was not really necessary. When I got to Canada, I was stopped by one of the rudest, most hostile customs officials I have ever met in my life. I had no passport! I was obviously attempting to sneak into Canada for some obviously nefarious reason!
I was subjected to a protracted grilling, with frequent reminders that "Canada is a separate country, you know," and "This isn't the United States." When I said I was trying to enter Canada to produce some commercials, instead of being glad I was spending thousands of dollars there, the official demanded to know if I thought Canadians were incapable of making commercials on their own. She only backed off when I said that if I weren’t welcome, I wouldn’t make a fuss, I’d just cancel the job and do it in the United States ... using American actors and an American studio. I was squinting at her name tag and writing down her name at that moment.
She finally let me pass. I’ve never booked another job in Canada, and it’s about the last place I’ll consider working in or visiting again.
Canada, like Europe, has become a forty-something live-at-home lout who contributes nothing to household expenses but insists on using the car whenever he likes and controlling the television clicker while bad-mouthing his parents to his fellow-louts.
Canada's military is non-existent.
Pity, it was once (circa WWII) an honorable country.
I don't.
lets do the canucks a favor, give them the red states
Not.
I am not down on Canada. Hey, we have far more of these mental leftists midgets than Canada has citizens. I travel to BC and Alberta quite a bit and with the exception of Nelson BC, I can’t even tell the difference when I cross the border. Nelson is the Berkley of Canada.
