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.

Are you trying to tell me there's not a very prevelant and vocal anti-American component to certain aspects of Canadian politics, that is linked to Canadian nationalism?

Sam, you certainly should know well enough that I'm not blind. I resent that you assume I am. I spend a great deal of time sifting through news, and not all of it in English.

Be angry with the government, work for change. Or perhaps, just run off to Canada and complain from there.
