But what he is saying is, if we had the mindsets of other nations, we would see all the benifets of Canada and take it over, rather than risk our lives defending foreign soil.

First, Canada has no 'Canadian' TV channels, but CBC. The rest is American, so we watch, read and listen to your news, commercials, etc. We are force-fed American culture, but at the same time we get Arabic channels, British Channel, etc. and we see other perspectives other than our own. You have to admit our immigration standards are much more lax than yours, meaning I grew up with Blacks, Arabics, Mexicans, Jamacians, Chinese, Japanese, all on one street, not segrigated to it's communities.

^ Umm, you obviously have never been to America. Right now, I am a minority in most of my classes in my college. If you are picturing America as a strictly white neighborhood with only one 'other' race at the end of the street, you are greatly mistaken.

Seeing as 9/11 hit so close to home, and was directed as your protectors, you should feel some sort of sorrow for this nation over it. As for 'we just hate ignorance', the problem is alot of Canadians that I talked to believe that the majority of us are ignorant. This leads them to thinking the nation in general is ignortant, thus the hatred for America. (the Make-Belief flag thing is hilarious, never heard that before.

It may not suck, but there are several things that I don't like about it.
