Oh and by the way, to show you how truly idiotic Canadian anti-Americanism is.
Let's take a look at the fact that Canada's economy wouldn't be shit without the US?
Canada's economy is WAY, WAY more dependent on the US.
- 85.6% of Canada's exports go to the US, and 76.3% of Canada's imports are from the US.
- 30% of total employment in Canada revolve around exports. (that's about 10 million people)
- Exports amount to 45% of Canada's GDP
- If jobs are reflective of GDP, that would mean about 4.5 million jobs in Canada are due to trade with the US, that means about 1/4th of Canada's labor force of 17.5 million.
Conversely...
- 20% of US exports go to Canada, while 16% of US imports come from Canada
- Exports only account for 12% of the US GDP.
- Canada-related exports account for 2 million US jobs. (about 1/75th of employment of the US labor force of 151 million)
Canada's economy is almost entirely dependent on the US.
And yet, Canadians think they are better or superior to the US how? How the fuck can you think you're better than a country when your existence depends on it?
Oh that's right, that's where Canada's media comes in. See, since Canadians couldn't have pride without being lied to, they have a little something called the CBC.
The CBC, is OWNED by the Canadian government. the CBC was made specifically to be pro-Canadian in nature:
(d) the Canadian broadcasting system should
(i) serve to safeguard, enrich and strengthen the cultural, political, social and economic fabric of Canada,
(ii) encourage the development of Canadian expression by providing a wide range of programming that reflects Canadian attitudes, opinions, ideas, values and artistic creativity, by displaying Canadian talent in entertainment programming and by offering information and analysis concerning Canada and other countries from a Canadian point of view,
(iii) through its programming and the employment opportunities arising out of its operations, serve the needs and interests, and reflect the circumstances and aspirations, of Canadian men, women and children, including equal rights, the linguistic duality and multicultural and multiracial nature of Canadian society and the special place of aboriginal peoples within that society

That's fucking pathetic. Canadian media is designed intentionally as a matter of policy to stroke the national pride of Canadians, that explains the idiotic, mindless Canadians you encounter so often. CBC is also designed INTENTIONALLY to counter-act the influence of American culture, that is Canadians are so woefully brainwashed. Anti-Americanism is the root of Canadian pride, Canadians have to be lied to in order to think their country has some superiority when in fact it's inferiority is huge, just so that Canada can maintain it's identity.
Then, media that is supposedly "independent" of Ottawa still has to follow Canadian content laws in order to have a quota of Canadian content, to endorse Canadian cultural things like Canadian music and so forth.
Bottomline:
Canadians that are anti-American are simply brainwashed and delusional. Their pride stems from lies. Their anti-American views are based on a major effort in Canada to mislead Canadians into having a false sense of superiority.
