Why do Canadians like to criticize Americans? ?

Question

Actually, I'm personally getting sick and tired of America taking such a hit over terrorism and our response as a people. If you know anything of the American history - which, as a Canadian you do, since you all sit back on ride so much on OUR backs - you would remember that by fighting so d**n hard to win our own freedom and enforcing individual rights instead of being directed by a main religious entity, we also made a promise to bring Democracy to others in need. Allies are important, much more now than ever, because too many of YOU are so quick to point the finger and accuse America of "interfering" for other reasons. Unfortunately, there are other countries that are practicing genocide and homocides - women, children, the elderly, and anyone else that gets in their way, and America has become "gun shy" to get involved without large numbers of allies. You fight fire with fire.

Too bad that so many Americans have also forgotten this.

Oh, by the way, what has the Canadian government or the Canadian people done in the way of helping Uganda, Rawanda, and any other needful peoples?????? At whay point have you extended yourselves in any significant way? What's your contribution to peace, ending hunger, etc.? If so many of you have better ideas, where are they and why aren't you fighting to be heard???

Answer 1

How about

The international campaign to ban all landmines

and

ICC  (International Criminal Court)

and lots of other stuff, i cant name off the top of my head and im tired.

Anyways Canadians barely criticize americans. The whole WORLD criticizes the US GOVT, NOT AMERICANS!!!

Its the govt thats using americans names and degrading it.

Why do you have to blame everything on canadians, since i last observed, it seems to me like the whole world, the whole international community is criticizing the government, and RIGHTFULLY SO!!!

Answer 2

The vast majority of criticism by Canadians of the US is rational, and it makes sense. Try not being so defensive and you might actually agree with it.

But there is a small number that say nothing but bad things about the US. Only some do, and it's mostly out of insecurity.  

Answer 3

Americans made it so certain cultures can go to school for free for christ sake!  Ever since Bush people has but the americans down.

If anything, it's our government.

And the canadian government are *******!

Answer 4

Canadians are smarter than BUSH and his BS wars.

Theyre peaceful!

The key to peace isn't war a two year old can tell you that!
