Nope, didn't mean it that way. I just listed the country 'cause, well, I'm there, so I did. I didn't think about it that much when I typed that part.

Many do feel so. Heck, sometimes I feel like I'm inside the fall of the Roman empire. It can be a shitty feeling.

As to my ancestors leaving Europe, and them being rats and all...

I understand they left for religious freedom and, well, if we're honest, profit was involved at some point. Then just about right after they got here, they set up a system of thier OWN religious persecution. I'm not real proud of that. Some years later, America was formed. Good job there. But, bad, bad from displacing and killing and trying to convert millions of Indians. Not much to be proud of there. Really, my ancestors in America can make a pretty shitty example of what not to do. The comparison falls apart too. The pilgrims left one country do develop new society in a new land, that they took over. Americans leaving to Canada hopefully won't take it over.

I like Canadians well enough. I've only met a few on my travels there, and they seemed very nice. I can't say I'd bail on America just yet, because I think she can be saved. Unless, of course, we completely destroy ourselves first. I guess time will tell.
