I have encountered an extreme amount of anti-american sentiment on this board and I am really curious as to why? It seems to me that most Canadians have an inferiority complex when dealing with Americans. I realize that most people around the world wish they could live in the U.S.A. and more importantly be an American citizen, but I wouldn't expect this from Canadians. Being an American and having lived in Toronto for the past 3 years I find it really amusing how Canadians get all defensive about their country. The first step in getting over this defensiveness is to realize Canada's place in the world and learn to accept it. Canada has rode America's coattails, probably since its confederation, and has done very well for itself doing this, but its citizenery must accept that Canada's sphere of influence is limited. As a matter of fact Canada does not even control its own natural resources, as most are controlled by American conglomerates. Canada really only exists at the whim of America. If we really wanted total control, who would stop us. Learn to live with it and thank America don't disparage it. I know the truth hurts!
