I think a bit of healthy patriotism isn't necessarily a bad thing. Kind of like rah rah team.. That said if it blinds you and your sense of objectivity and humility is lost than its far to easy to get swayed into a gutter.
Anyway, I really do wish Karassmatic well and hope he finds some peace.
If healthy means you are proud of your hertitage, then of course that is fine. We both know that I am proud of my heritage, but I am also the first to acknowledge how fu*ked up my country of birth is. Its actually a national pastime to bash our government, even if your preferred party is in power.
So hearing the overly congratulatory nature of some people has always rubbed me the wrong way or maybe I just dont relate.

I think you're being a tad hard on patriotism lol. There's enough to be proud about with respect to Toronto and issues that should be critiqued fairly should absolutely have their place in discussion. Its the only way to make something 'better' but by the nature of making something better you have to be proud of what you have improved. That is my idea of patriotism, pride in accomplishing improvements and overcoming challenging issues with solutions that demonstrably make something better. You can't do that if everyone is just 'doing there own thing' and couldn't give a crap about a place and is always negative and down on it.
Being balanced, objective and humble are all great traits though and I do agree, blind patriotism and ethnocentrism are not helpful and just cloud sound reasoning and are actually inhibitors to improvement.
Its funny how Torontonians are so proud to be not-American but embrace a rapper that raps in a Southern accent, uses American slang and the "N" word every other sentence; its such a fake, contrived persona he has developed. Also his OvO fest is an excuse for people to act like gangbangers and fools. Its like you guys want recognition so bad you'll take someone who acts extremely American in every respect; this is a guy you would have derided had he been from New York or some other American city.
Well, his father is an African American from Tennessee who he would often go and visit for extended periods of time after his parents separated. His mother is a Jewish (white) Torontonian.
Cool video, although they messed up the part with the map and don't know the difference between the 6 former boroughs which make up the city proper and the GTA.
Amazing. I can see why toronto loves drake so much. Awe inspiring magical story.
Wow.
Please make a movie about this guy.
Everything about him is so real. Better than Michael Jackson
Is he going ro be in movies yet? I'm sure he's a better actor than Leonardo dicaprio too.
My stance has changed. The cold winters, rigid point of views and free Healthcare creates a perfect storm to brew top notch artists. Toronto is the greatest city ever. Backed by the greatest talent in the world. Drake!
Best mob boss image ever. Never even broke any laws. But still a mob boss. 6 god. Wow.
Toronto realest city ever. Anyone can make it here. Fusion was right. Just gotta follow in drakes footsteps. He did it. When. No. One. Said. He. Could. Even the Russian mafia stopped him from getting his division 1 scholarship in football in high school for banging their girls. But that dudes guts are spilled on the streets now. 6 god! So real. So dangerous.
Next year we will see him play on the Lakers and witness that legendary 50 inch vertical the nba wants to market so bad.
Drake the greatest human ever.
Wòooooooooooow.
Everyone you felt did you wrong drake. I hope you make them pay.
Make
Them
Pay.
