I wouldn't say ignorant, I would say fed-up. We, Americans, are the country that stands up for the little kid at the end of the block who always gets picked on. We get bashed constantly and without shame by countries who really should'nt look a gift horse in the mouth. Canada, with a doubt, gets a free pass on world issues because they really are for all intents and purposes a non-player. It's understood they are the US's little cousin no one should mess with. I wouldn't say that Ameriocans have an anti-Candian sentiment just apathy when our northern neighbors are concerned. We, as Americans, get no respect whatsoever when visiting Canada (especially the French provinces), and are frankly fed up with it. Obviously Canada will always be safe, as America will defend it's borders at all costs. Riddle me this Eh? Saddam Hussein is in charge of the super power identified as the US. Would Canada remain sovereign then? Would their incredible sense of self allow them to defend their borders from just about any foreign invader? I think not. Am I condoning Saddam Hussein or any of his predispositions? Absolutely not! IDo I think the US is by any means perfect or an idealistic organization? Absolutely not! All I think we as Amercans are asking for simply is why can't we as the the US get a little credit for buttering Canada's bread. We understand we do it and Candians have to know France isn't doing it. Why cant people north of the border? Food for thought...
