I read an article about anti-Americanism in Canadian politics. Now I expect Europe to hate us, I expect large parts of Asia to hate us. But somehow I naively assumed our benevolent and nonviolent neighbor to the north would have a gentler attitude. But then 40% of Canadian teenagers desribe America as "evil" and that number jumps up another 20% in French speaking areas.

I am so tired of my country being hated.

I hate UPS with the burning passion of a thousand suns. For the love of god don't send anything to me UPS. USe the postal service or FedEx, anything but UPS. No matter what schedule I'm working they refuse to come at a time when I would actually be home to sign for the package, and so I have to deal with unpleasant mess of 183/290 interchange to wait in line in the horrible UPS center.

and you hit the nail on the head. Benevolent and Nonviolent. America's foreign policy by contrast is Imperial and quite violent, backing up by force demands made of countries which America would never tolerate being told to do themselves. That kinda attitude rubs the rest of the world the wrong way. Especially when countries are invaded over lies, and Canadian military gets shot up by American planes with no apologies and no one held accountable for the crime.
