I actualy have to admit , I have never liked canada. I tend to support iran and relly any other country out there that has problem with US politics. but for some reason canada bothers me a great deal. I don't know. I don't like how canadians seem to be very snide in talking about the US.
canada rests on the border of the united states and I believe the fartheest city is only a few hundred miles from the border. the majority of the canadian population sits ont eh border. now the problem seems to me to stem from the US/Canada competition. for some while I have noticed that canadians gernally dislike the US's recognition int he world. canada seems to be overshadowed when it comes to world attention . from my experience canadians generally have an unrecognized nationality and are sensitive about this. canadas nationality is so dependant on the US and at the same time is severly overshadowed. in my opinin this leads to a huge resentment. most critisms of the US don't bother me at all. in fact I have my own opinoins. I think that the thing that bothers me is that canadas criticisms are largely motivated by resentment. I am not jsut refering to the current political arena. this is something I have noticed for quite some time and it just seems that canada prospers off of US downfall. some rise from anothers demise. and for a country that recieves absolutely no recognition in the world, it just seems that canada is a very dangerous nationality because of the resentment. the worse the US appears to be, the better those overshadowed will appear. and that is unnerving. I have had many experiences with this setiment. and I don't like it. even most of the discussions on this website are about the US. and the worse the US does the better I think it makes canadians feel. canada does not have world recognition like the US does. culturally or anything else. and I think that as far as natioinal pride goes, that can be very upsetting. canadians love to ridicule the US I've noticed and the thing that bothers me is that canada sits inches from the border. it just seems to be a parasitic relationship. feeding of a country and offereing only criticism in return. I just find canada's criticism to be irritating. sitting back and just enjoying the US's turmoil. and I think that canada will generally try to use this turmoil to siutaute themselves in a better light. prosper by comparison. the worse the US looks the better canada appears. and I think canada will use this. the ting is though, its easier to not make the mistake when you sit on another country and take advantage of what that country has to endure. it's easy not to make mistakes when a country has the priveledge of resting on another. it just seems to be a lamprey relationship. even from the begining. it's been a competition. the US got all the recognition, and canada seems to not be happy with that. often times constantly focusing on what the US does wrong.
it just really annoying. canada also seems to enjoy itself reveling in how wonderfully intelligent it is. and scoff at the US calling it evil. but it reminds me of someone arrogantly scoffing at another in a stream as they sit on the bank. scoffing at how they are swimming. and they're inability to do as well as those on the bank see fit. it seems that canadians often will ridicule the US for it's cultural achievements "the US isn't that great" what cultural recognition does canada get in the world. how much do other countires pay attention to canada. I am not sure most people in other countries would even know who your prime minister is. even any cultural aspects of your country depend on the US to basically provide/protect it for you. canada isn't really in the tumultuos seas of political world responsibility. you guys haven't had to deal with anything in the world. noone really gives a damn what canada does and I think that bothers many canadians on a subconcious level. even a concious level, but I think its definitely there. no doubt about it in my mind. canada seems to be very arrogant about what it thinks the US is doing wrong. but it hasn't ever had the responsibility of dealing with these things. canada can sit back and wait for someone else to make all of the mistakes and then chew on whatever that country provides. never having the gaul to do it yourselves. waiting for someone else to make all of the mistakes. it just is weasely to me. I agree with most criticism from other countries. but for some reason I hate canada. more than I can even stand. that's just the way I feel about it. I have had really unpleasnt involvement with candians. and I really dislike canada. I am just trying to express my opinion about it. I hate your country, it's nothing personal(I know that may not make sense but it's true, I am sure not all canadians are like this) but I just don't like canada for some reason. it just bothers me so much I can't stand it.
instead of getting world recognition, canada's accomplishment seems to be finding fault with the US.
