"I'm not anti-American at all."

Oh really? Then explain this:

"“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.” "

That *is* anti-American. As for your arrogance in pointing out gaul vs gall -- I'll stick with gaul -- it means more to me -- not only arrogance but cowardice -- just like Canada.

Canada has crossed the line, as far as I'm concerned. Canada is no different than Germany, France, Syria and Cuba. May you all feel the sting of American rath!!

[-YYZ-]

I think it explains itself. Oh, btw, this: "even if that resentment is entirely rational" was mean to say "even if that resentment is NOT entirely rational".

In any case, if you want to take that as anti-American, that's your problem. I think you're wrong in comparing us with France or Germany (you want to experience anti-Americanism, go there), and just plain out in left field in comparing us to Syria or Cuba. But like I say, that's your problem. I'm done going back and forth with you on this. And if you want to continue using the wrong spelling of "gall", that's up to you, too.
