They seem to have this inborn need to say that they're not Americans. Unfortunately for them, that also means that they pass by America's nobility and strength.

<< I think Canadians' biggest problem is that they suffer this horrendous inferiority complex. >>
Years ago when I first went there, to college in New Brunswick -- and long before I bought a place in BC and got to know them as well as I do now and for as many years -- I though that, too.
But I was wrong.
Canadians suffer from an inferiority REALITY.
And have collectivized it and institutionalized it and have made it systemic and endemic.
