Well then, what was your point in posting this article with the title you gave it?

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.

OK, so that was the original article's title. So you're just using it as an excuse to bash Canada.

Yes, maybe we are a little insecure about our culture. Still, you'd be hard-pressed to find a less anti-American country in the world than Canada. Try to find another country that Americans can travel in and be treated as well as in Canada. (you ever heard of those Americans travelling elsewhere in the world displaying a Canadian flag to avoid the local anti-Americanism?) Actually, there is no other country that has relations with the US comparable to Canada. Yes, you can drive into Mexico, but as soon as you do you're in a 3rd world country. When you come to Canada, other than having to change your money (and that's not always necessary) you might as well be in the 51st state.

Overall I really think you're making a mountain of a molehill.
