Craig, as you know from his many posts over the years, King subscribes to the belief of Canadian moral superiority over Americans and comments on it in his passive/aggressive manner on a regular basis. While we all know there is resentment towards Americans all over the world, those Canadians who, glibly and with no skin in the game, criticize Americans and imagine Canadians superior, enrage many of their fellow Canadians.

It is both wrong and reeking of ingratitude and bad manners and is a blight on our national character. The best I can say is we aren't the only nationality that does it. Sadly, we are the nationality that gains the most from good relations with America. That truth is often lost on our more critical thinking challenged residents.

Huh?


Doubting you'll get the irony of that.

Bavaria can make you want to pull your hair out, but still my really zany experiences have been with Canadians. However my experience has been limited to Ontario and Quebec. I think we would all be happier if you took the North East of the US and we got the Midwest of Canada.

I understand those folks in the mid western provinces are a different breed and I have always wanted to take the train ride through western Canada.

There is supposed to be a simple unspoiled beauty about Canada that I've always wanted to experience but have never been able to.

sorry canvasback, i thought you would get the "surfer speak" "Eh"

No big deal cback. I'm just testing a strategy. I figure if I can work enough repetition into the 'conversation', it'll become fact. Next one I'll work on, he wears sheer kilts only, January thru March. Can I interest anyone in a caliphate on the streets of london?

Pooch, I have lived half my life in the East and half in the West. Manitoba and Alberta to be exact. I live in the East (Ontario) now only to be close enough to be able to share custody of my boy with my ex. The moment he's an adult, I'm gone back West. They are two entirely different places with very different social attitudes.

You are quite right about the better "meshing" of the US NE with Ontario and the prairie provinces with the US states west of the Mississippi. I don't think anyone wants Quebec. LOL

Edit to add.... you have to get away from the Windsor to Quebec City corridor if you want to really enjoy Canada and Canadians.

Hahahahahaha!

That's one bad mental image.

Hmmm,the smiley-face, sociopathic, America-hating commie troll once again spouts his drivel.

"Ugly American"

"US loss of faith in its governance and institutions, divided more now than in modern history."

"Xenophobia"

I'd list the rest of the crap, but it's getting tiresome.

Now Sralin, who really cares? You and Canada are irrelevant.

I have heard some really sophomoric rants from "Quebecians", but have also had a very dear friend from Quebec. One must be careful painting with a broad brush.

In spite of what I say I do like Canada, but I have frozen my ass off up there. One of the things I don't understand is why Canadians essentially close down Niagara Falls in January. I think the falls are the most beautiful when the ice and snow is every where

I believe Canadians generally think differently from Americans, James.They certainly act more tolerantly of others. And I'm the guy who offers near-apologia here for how the US is turning: a majority of Americans voted against what the president-elect is proposing. I praise a majority who voted from their hearts and not their pockets nor pie-in-the-sky.

Living in Canada's industrial heartland and financial centre, you as businessman and entrepreneur, we both know Canada has more skin in the game than most countries, with $2-billion daily crossing the border every day in trade, their best customer, neighbour and constant ally (except flat no to what became the Iraq tragedy).

We are friends with different notions of governance who may have shared similar sentiments on grounds of not Canadian values when your party veered toward race-baiting to save itself during the federal election a year ago. The current front runners for your party leadership are sailing close to that repudiated line. You back Trumpism; I do not.

Although you were right and I was wrong in predicting his ascension, I am clearly on the side of a majority of Americans who want something different than they're getting for their country. Bit of a stretch to put anti-American resentment on that, James.
