I think the USA bashing is primarily driven by the media there, and that
situation is not
so different from how the media was in the USA not so long ago.
The average person there should start getting more involved in their news
sources
and holding them to task on objectivity, etc. The bashing does hurt your
economy.
I know personally of many folks (including myself) who have curtailed
Canadian fishing
trips and the like because of things said by your politicians and media.

Good for you Dr. Hardcarb! I am ashamed to have to admit that I am a
Canuck
when I hear idiots like this slamming the best neighbors anyone could hope
for. There is so much American bashing here in Canada and it is very
annoying to have to listen to. I have wondered over the years where the
dislike for Americans comes from and can only chalk it up to jealousy on
the
part of these ignorant Canadians who bash America at every opportunity.
We
have half the problems to contend with that you do and we can't even cope
with that. Imagine if Canada was a superpower like America and we had to
actually get involved in World Affairs and not just sit on the sidelines
and
snipe at what the US does to try to make the world a safer place for all
freedom loving peoples. Canada can't even tie her own shoes, let alone
defend herself or anyone else.
Please accept my apologies for the bashing you get from ignorant Canadians
and accept my sincere gratitude for being such a good friend to us poor
little Canadians.
