The very essence of self importance...but then not unexpected...this may be your personal opinion, and I hope that is all it is, but I believe the vast majority of American people see Canada differently, Marty...defend your greatness, not through might and bravado, but through such things as compassion, understanding that there are different way to accomplish things, kindness etc

Things are what they are Steve. It is not a slam on Canada to think as I do. It is Canada's good fortune and would be the envy of many countries to have their geo/political position on the map. I get the many things that you like about your country.
