To give you an idea of how small Canada seems to us, when my wife first moved to California (which actually has a larger population than the whole of Canada) people would ask things like "Do you know my cousin so~n~so?" As if Canada is just one small town.
I hope nobody is bashing Canada around here though. It's unfair to bash any countries "morals" as if the country is just one being instead of millions of independant people.
I have a mug sitting in front of me right now that has three American Flags and Three Canadian flags and in between them it says "Proudly United"
I live just accross the water from Victoria BC, in the US and everywhere you go, you see Canadian Flags standing proudly next to American Flags.
For my wife (who is not yet an American citizen) that is quite meaningful.
I may not agree with Canada's majority's politics, but I often disagree with the US's majority's politics.
I greatly dislike anti-americanism and greatly dislike anti-Canadianism because it does nothing but enflame the rifts that hav been festering between the two nations (needlessly in most cases) for years.
I am extremely proud to be a red blooded American, and very proud to be married to a maple lovin' Canadian.
PS. I never thought that Canadian's lived in Igloos or that they all wore polar bear firs and flanel or even that they all played hockey.
The only thing that I ever really believed (and still do to this day) was that Canada doesn't have much of a military because who would want to invade a place that get's SO DOGGONE COLD ANYWAY!
God Bless Canada.
