This is just another example of American arrogance.

Why are Canadians envious of Americans?

On a personal level, we do not need to envy your personal lives. Most Canadians believe they have the right and the opportunities to achieve "The American Dream", as much as anyone else. Our country is rich in natural resources, and yes it would be nice to have a place where once in a while you got to warm your bones by the fire without having to answer thousand and one questions, but besides that, we enjoy that we are tough enough to endure cold. We don't have a choice do we?
Mexicans and French are also different cultures on this continent, different languages, and have made sure they had bounderies to protect their cultures. One thing that amazes me is that the English didn't do this. Why would the English speaking nation wish to put a border within themselves. Isn't the North American English nation not the same? To me, an English is an English, just like a French is a French, and I do not say this in a derogatory way.
As Canadians, we just tagged along as you guys did "Big Business", we don't really have to do much, the money comes from selling our natural resources to you guys. So we are a little more laid back, hard workers also, and some of us are good engineers and thinkers, just like any other culture I guess.
But if we are a free continent, as in "free world", why do we have bounderies at all? Why bother? Maybe some polititian can answer that, cause to us regular people, we don't see the need for it.
And maybe some politian can answer why we choose to weaponize ourselves. And why we choose to use them. Of course if someone comes at me with an AK 47, I'd like to have one of my own so I can defend myself, but am I not gonna start a killing spree just because I have one.
Canadians didn't feel threatened by the 9/11 attacks, and we don't totally understand why you need to embark on a military crusade because of it, but you seem to understand your reasons why.
We are dependant on your economy, we feel part of the family, it's just we don't agree with big brother. In a way, we have to live by what you decide is best, or else we'll be cut off from the family business. We think big brother is a little presumptious, a little hot headed, and we don't like the fact that he's always right, but hey, deep down he's a nice guy, he means well.
It was mentioned a few days back, that many here from the US have left the forum because it seems they feel attacked. Now that is so dumb. They were the ones who started to bombard the watchtower without mercy, and now they can't take constructive critism? What's that all about? They should well be aware that we do not attack them personally, were just having some fun, just like they had fun with the watchtower.
It's just a political debate, get a grip will ya. Or have you traded your Borg membership to another controlling group where apostates are the bad seed?

I think that too many are two faced about politics here. JW love and debating mentality flows like a broken pipe. I started a thread for Americans to talk and it is locked. It fail to see how anyone was getting slamed unlike any Eurotrash anti-American thread started thread that does nothing but slam. I guess the word American without pointing faults is like saying Fuc- here. Of course just talk about dissidence or Europe or anything Non US and it is great. Keep it up run off all the Americans who will not do a Monica for European attitudes.
There is a reason that the Founding Fathers of America thought the average person to stupid to understand how government works to directly elect the people to rule over them. That is why the Republic was formed AND NOT A DEMOCRACY. People here have proven that they are still right even today.
Canada is envious of the US? Bullshit! They are not. And all the Canadians I have ever met are very cool people. I like Canada. I like Canadians. End comments
