Wow, something got you all riled up alright.

If Canada is so culturally indistinct, and such a bad place to live, why can we smoke what we like, marry who we please, and get our health taken care of for free, while you can't do any of those things? Tell you the truth, I'd much rather live in boring old Canada than be loathed by the rest of the world as a symbol of greed and omnipotent incompetence. You talk about irrelevance and unimportance like they're bad things, but it wasn't three thousand Canadians who died on September 11th and it's not Canadian troops being sent to die in useless wars. You keep your relevance and importance, by all means, and we'll keep our bland, unimportant society - infinitely more peaceable, progressive, liberated, and forward-looking than your own.
