I guess I must be one ignorant, uninformed American. To me Canada has always just been considered a friendly neighbor.

But now I read here that Canadians resent, feel superior to, and don't care much for Americans in general. Go figure.

I admit I have little knowledge of Canadian politics and culture. Mostly because I have no reason to know such things. There are too many other things of importance in my life to be concerned with besides spending time learning about something of no relevance to me. ( I started to read the Canadian info dump post, but lost interest after the first two lines).

Sorry if that offends Canadians, but thats just the way it is.

It does seem to me that there might be some envy and jealousy involved in some Canadians feelings towards Americans, but thats just a guess. I think its great Canadians are proud of their country, but does belittling America make Canada greater?

It reminds me some of the kids in high school with such low self esteem they constantly made fun of other people because they so desperately wanted to be able to somehow feel superior.
