Some Canadians don’t like US
Yes, that’s a play on words at the end of the title.
I was surprised that there was anti-American sentiment up in Canada. I mean, we were taught that we are the greatest country on the face of the earth, the most blessed country by God, and the best possible place to live. We were taught that our wars were all full of good purpose and our heroes were awesome, and the blood that was shed was so that we could live in freedom and democracy and yay, America!
Is it possible that other countries don’t feel that way about US? Is it possible that other countries might like their own selves and think that they are the best possible place to live and view US with negativity?
Well, yeah, I figure there are a lot of countries across the oceans that don’t have a high opinion of US. But come on, Canada is next door – our “friendly neighbor to the north” as the elementary books put it. Why would they have any reason not to think we are great?
Studying history helps. More coming….
