Canadian - a form of psychosis

[paxamericana]

The North American continent is inhabited by one group of culturally linked people who share common language, identity, ethnicity and religion. Yet through an imaginary line drawn on the map, people living north are somehow not Americans. There’s no logical basis for this distinction and therefore can only be classified as a form of mental illness. 

[SpankyMcFarland]

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness versus peace, order and good government. I see some big differences in values there and I feel them in the people too. America is struggling to maintain its liberal democratic order at the moment. It has a sclerotic two party system unable to reform itself, clearly inferior to the British model and riddled with gerrymandering. The last thing it needs is a doubling in size.

Look man, anything that happens south of the border also eventually makes it way north. Canada has been slipping away from it's democratic values ever since free speech became legally hate speech. Not to derail my own thread. Democracy only seems to matter when the party of not your choice is in power for some reason.

We have free speech here. Nobody fears our head of government unlike your country these days.

mmmmhmmm. Oh and by the way, don't think it has been unoticed. Anytime America does x Canadians justify x as the reason why they're not Americans. This is text book xenophobia. Canada is quite literally a country built on biggoted hate.

At the moment xenophobia is entirely justifiable given your country’s disgraceful actions against its closest friend. You just don’t get how we feel right now.

That would be the Ozzy down under. We’re putting Canada on time out until you rethink this non-American identity you fabricated for yourselves and petition for statehood.

We do, we just don't care. American isolationism is entirely an American luxury, we're self sufficient or powerful enough to get what we want and have things our way.

Yes we're quite aware of Canadian bigoted tendency, it's a national sport. You elected a PM whose winning premise was about being a better bigot than the next guy.
