If Canada doesn't want o be the USA then why they watch all American tv shows and buy American food and cars?

I guess then, everyone in the world wants to be an American because they watch American TV (the O.C. and Simpsons are on in many countries around the world, for example) and movies (if you ever leave the country, run down to the movie theater to see what's playing - more than half of what you see will likely be made by Hollywood), and eat at McDonald's and Burger King. I guess some of us in the northern states want to be Canadian, since Tim Horton's is growing south of the Canadian border, many American cars are assembled or have parts made in Canada, and many movies are filmed in Toronto and Vancouver. Anyone who owns a Honda wants to be Japanese. And anyone who watched Lord of the Rings wants to be a New Zealander.

I wonder why a Canadian even is on free republic any ways.

We have FReepers from around the world. Yes, even France. Nothing requires FReepers to be Americans. The Internet is global.

I think if you asked people all over the world If you couldn't be from (whatever country, which country do you want to be from, most would pick USA. so I guess I agree with you. We film movies up there because there canuck dollar is worth like 65 cents. And plus I'm glad I am funny to all of the snobs on the free republic so-called. At least I can say what I think not just wait and say Oh I agree your so smart your so wonderful. I guess I better go to college to be good enough to use the internet. (sarcastic)
