Another thing that I find interesting here is how the media really plays up all the 'alleged conspiracies', 'indictments', etc. of American politicians and issues in the US. Especially the CBC (read: liberal mouthpiece).
I have heard from many people, many times things along the lines of: 'Sure, our politicians have pulled some bad stuff, but when you hear the stuff about the US, it pales in comparison'. I usually respond: 'Most of what you hear in the US is alleged, i.e. not 'proven guilty' and our legal system is based on the presumption of innocence. You can't change issues in the US, and does it make it right for your pols to "pull bad stuff" and keep them in office??'
I don't understand that mentality either.
You got to be kidding. The US is run like church coffers compared to Canada. We are a laughing stock. Even Mexico raises and eyebrow.
