  Oh, I see. Yet, somehow, the US pigeonholing Canadians and Canada is 
acceptable. Is that it?

  America bashing... America *needs* to have some sense bashed into it. 
It's beyond arrogance what that country is doing to the globe. The world 
is up in arms because that megalomaniacal administration is flaunting 
its self imposed authority.

  My problem with such idiots is that they

  The population's interests are reflected in who they choose to put at 
the helm of the country. They chose poorly...and now their country, and 
administration, are the most reviled on the planet.
  But, hey, they have the big guns...so, who cares. Right? They can just 
"arm up" and go kick some global butt... YeeHaw!

  The US has been bashing Canada for ages...yet you take issue with me

and that's okay with you, apparently. That bully is needed to protect

  Hell, we never know when a Russian nuclear sub, or the Chinese, will 
toss a nuke at us... the absurdity is laughable.
  You buy into the fear mongering of Sharx and the US administration. I 
won't. TYVM.
