I’m Canadian, and like Dick Bentley said earlier, many of these comments sadden me as well. Many Americans seem to hold the view that when any other country does something in a different way than the US does, that country must be doing it the wrong way. Those Americans don’t seem remotely curious as to why that country does it differently, and whether or not America could learn something in the process – rather, it’s far simpler for those Americans to not put too much thought into it, wrap themselves in the flag, and start shouting everybody else down.
