Well then, what was your point in posting this article with the title you gave it? I can't see that it's anything other than Canada-bashing.

As far as America-bashing by Canadians is concerned, well I think you could stand to have a little thicker skin. After all, if you're going to be the world's sole superpower and do whatever you want wherever you want in the world, it should hardly come as a surprise that some will resent you, even if that resentment is entirely rational. And as far as Canadians go, you try living next to a country whose population greatly outnumbers yours, whose culture tends to swamp yours, and who followed a doctrine called "Manifest Destiny" for many years that suggested that you wanted to (forcibly?) make us part of your country (yes, I know that was many years ago), and you might begin to understand the undercurrent of anti-Americanism in Canada.

""TORONTO - Restrictions imposed on Ontario hospitals due to the threat of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome are pushing many Canadians to head south of the border for treatment or diagnostic testing, often at their own expense. " "

So your not sending SARS to America? How about some more "facts"?

Typical Canadian -- whine and blame rather than take responsiblity. It is that and the "undercurrent of anti-Americanism" in Canada that I am sick of. How truly disgusting!

Time to close the border with Canada.

This was the title of the article as posted on the National Post website. Posting etiquette in this forum dictates that the title heading must contain the original title of the article from the website. If I wanted to Canada-bash, I would have used something else more inflammatory. If you are going to blame somebody, blame the Ottawa Citizen.

I'm sorry that many in your country feel that insecure having a superpower sharing your southern border. I am well aware of the undercurrent of America-bashing, and I have been aware for many years. All I am doing is making Americans aware that it exists, and doing what I can to help Canadian conservatives take their country back.
