Default Re: American Bastard

"I tell them that the Canadians have inhabited North America for as long as we have and possess natural resources greater than ours, yet they have produced nothing of any worth; in fact they are out produced by S. Korea.

You cannot design your own automobiles (you take ours and put Canadian names on them), computers, semi-conductors, consumer electronics, etc. You have never liberated any countries from tyranny. What are your accomplishments for your 200 plus years? Canadian bacon and Molsons, eh?"

And this guy is accusing Canadians of bigotry? Articles like this amaze me. It's like saying "Stop [censored] swearing." How stupid do you have to be to condemn the arrogance and perceived racism of others by indulging in bigoted put-downs of your own?

"I never really understood the animosity between Canada and the US."

Nearly all neighbouring countries have some sort of animosity, and especially those which are superficially similar/linked in some ways. Major powers also always attract a lot of flack simply because they are so visible and active.
