So here I see a bunch of Canadians talking about the US. It's strange to see since the opposite is horribly non-existent.









The more and more I think about it, the sadder and sadder it is to contemplate.











Canadian news and TV seem to always have US stuff. Yet when you look at US news and TV no Canada to be found whatsoever.










Canada has turned into an obsessed teenage girl with a crush. She sees her favorite star in the news and on TV. She talks about him all the time, she feels strong emotions about his personal affairs. Yet he doesn't even know she exists heart

Population of Canada: ~30 million
Population of the USA: ~300 million

US media dominates the airwaves here, plus America's politics reach far beyond her borders.

So, no, it's not so strange that Americans don't discuss Canadian affairs.


It is rather sad, however, that many Americans can't find Canada on a map and actually believe all that shit about Canadians living in igloos etc.

Some of your countrymen can't even find their own state on a map of the US.

In short, your nation can be stereotyped as a country populated by ignorant fools with delusions of grandeur.

everyone runs across people who pay attention(to the world) and some who dont care.

all he ever does is work on engines, he dont give a fcuk

LOL, counting American Idols votes?










There are plenty of countries who have far smaller populations and don't need to be obsessed with another country heart











You sound like a teenage girl trying to justify her irrational attraction to a celebrity.










How about growing a backbone and developing your own national identity? Or is it too hard to do during the formative years of high school when a girl is trying to fit in with the IN crowd? heart

Ziggy's excuses are like a teenage girl's little sister trying to sound "grown up" like her older sister 'cause she's soooo cool when kissing the ass of her favorite celebrity heart

Don't worry Ziggo. He's just doing some irrational obsessing about Canada.

That's a fun take on the US's self absorbed, insular view vs. Canada's interest in its neighbours and the rest of the world. It makes no sense at all, but that's pretty much what we expect from you. Thanks for being such a rock of predictable idiocy in this crazy rollercoaster of a world!

I'll give this a shot...

Canada - Stephen Harper, right side of centre right
Germany - Angela Merkel, centre right
Italy - Silvio Berlusconi , right side of centre right
Great Britain - Gordon Brown, right side of centre left
Japan - new guy, centre left
United States - Barack Obama, right side of centre left
France - Nicolas Sarkozy, centre right
Russia - Dmitry Medvedev, leftish


When I was a kid on vacation with my family I remember at a gas station in San Diego the guy cleaning our van's windshield looked at the Alberta plate and asked my dad "what state is that?"

And at South Padre Island, Texas an Austrian couple was trying to explain the difference between Austria/Australia and the Texan women kept saying "yeah, but we call it Australia."
