Since it is Canada Day, I really shouldn't complain. We live in a country that is the envy of most of the world. We have had people running this country for the last 40 years who by and large were under achievers (lawyers) who fucked us at times and still do every which way to next Wednesday, but still, the country is intact.
Now if you want to get my goat about supposed patriotism and bullshit Canadian pride just bring up any sporting event like winter or summer olympics or especially world cup hockey where all good Canadians are supposed to cheer for a bunch of millionaire hockey players playing a little boys game. Thanks but no thanks. I'll watch reruns of veterans in France who fought for this country to instill pride in me. At least these people were heroes and died for there country. Sporting events to evoke Canadian patriotism? No thanks. I have higher standards than just pure entertainment to make me feel proud.
