threeplusfireI 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.

Date: 2004-07-07 09:19 am (UTC)It is my impression that villification of my country happens and is connected to anti-American rhetoric. Not that there are not good reasons to be angry with the American government. What concerns me is that a strong dislike of politics becomes very quickly a strong dislike for all people connected to those politics. See the Middle East.
I don't think Canada currently has the sort of active malice you speak of, but I dread its coming. God help us in November, that we can change something big.
