The true north strong and free, eh?

When most people think of Canada they think of the maple leaf, hockey, freezing cold, and unfortunate accents, and yet most Americans turn a blind eye to Canada's open hatred of America. While on vacation in Mexico (which was overrun by drunken Canadians seeking a to change their skin tone from ghost pale to polar bear white) I found it distasteful how quickly Canadians injected themselves into American politics. Within seconds of any conversation, the Canadians wanted to point out how much they hate America, why they would never move there, why our politicians (except The Chosen One) suck, and that 9/11 was a conspiracy.

It's quite bold for a country that is on the verge of a coup and a secession to preoccupy itself with the politics of its neighbor, insecurity perhaps?

Now I know Canadians have acquired a reputation for politeness, but this is far from polite. It irritates me that Canadians seem to think that they are somehow more enlightened than Americans. Much like Europeans, Canadians glow in the aura of false knowledge. Canadians and Europeans often act as if they know all there is to know about the United States and yet when you dig more than inch deep they reveal their true ignorance. Canadians like to tout the superiority of their universal healthcare system, and yet ignore the fact that their taxes are absurd. Canadians talk about how peaceful their country is, and ignore the fact that America has done their bidding for the last 80 years or so.

It is disgusting how Canadians use every opportunity to put down the United States, which is quite bold for a country that owes its independence and freedom to its proximity to the United States. Let's face it, if the US was not Canada's neighbor, Canadians would be speaking Russian by now.

In the context of global politics Canada should be seen and not heard. Canada don't make us make an Iraq out of you, we'll have the Quebecois fighting the Anglos within 3 weeks of an invasion. If the invasion does not pan out, we'll confiscate your 6 hockey teams and start breaking off pieces of the Stanley Cup until you cry for mercy.
