I quite like the average American citizen. What I don't like is the way the country has completely blown it's chance to really be that "Shining city on a hill" since the end of WW2. At one time it really looked like the USA could really lead the nations into a new and more just civilization. But NO you haven't because of the folly of taking up the mantle of the ex colonial powers and instead of progressing have regressed into the worst sort of Imperial corpocracy. American freedoms are being attacked at all points, the gulf between the haves and have nots is growing bigger and bigger. The country is spiralling down as all empires have and NOTHING is being done to stop that. The rulers of the country so obviously don't give a rats azz about the people, are owned lock stock and barrel by special interests and there they uselessly sit while the country burns down around their heads.
Of course I don't wish any person harm and in fact I wish them health, wealth and prosperity. It`s the people who have gotten ahold of the country I despise. Billionaires who begrudge the working man a good wage. Bankers who collapse the world`s economy and instead of going to jail get paid off with hundreds of billions of taxpayers dollars just to gear up to repeat the same thing again. How many homes were illegally taken from the folks who lived in them. Is that the USA you are proud of.
You are part of the rebel alliance and therefore a traitor!! LOL I kid! P.S. I love both countries.
Well.. I hate to say it, but you actually sound very resentful and envious of the United States in your posts here (let alone biased).
Unfortunately, I've met too many Canadians in real life who were the same way. I do like Canada though and always enjoy my visits to that country in spite of some of the people who make me roll my eyes.

Completely accurate, unfortunately. 32 years of decline.
Then there's the touchy subject of NAFTA here in the States. The Canadians and Mexicans seem to have been warmly receptive of it, some of us Americans on the other hand...
Don't think NAFTA isn't "touchy" for a lot of folk here in Canada either.
A lot of people feel the same way about New Mexico, actually.
Sucks to be those people, they must have a pretty miserable life.
