The only people who think that America is the greatest country are well Americans. Now I know that everybody thinks their respective country is the greatest, but is any other country hated so much on a world scale? Why are they hated because they are ignorant about other countries politics and cultures. It isn't that you have to look elsewhere but you (most Americans) know nothing about the world around you.(most Americans)
I'm not desperate for approval from Americans (I think you meant me by typing some) if not well then IMO Canadians aren't looking for approval from Americans. Most Americans wouldn't like to hear what average Canadians really think of their country.
I wouldn't say Canada has been treated like USA's "little brother" look at the relations between Bush and Chretien not exactly on friendly terms. Now along comes Martin and I might start to agree the longer he is around the more we will be treated like "little USA" because Martin is really interested in kissing Bush's butt, for one reason or another.
