Why is South America/Canada so quiet?

Question

I live in the US, and I never hear anything about these 2 places. Is South America similar to Mexico? Different? South America or Canada involved in anything big (War battles etc.. )?

Answer 1

I can only speak for Canada, being Canadian this is what I think, whether this is true or not is a matter of opinion but here is what I believe. Canada MINDS IT"S OWN BUSINESS.. there is a lot going on in Canada and the government is busy looking after it's self and not sending valuable resources out of the country as do some other countries. Canada steps up to the plate when needed. does not shirk it's duties to the rest of the free world. but does not go head long into battle with anyone and everyone, just to prove they are a supreme power.  I think, possibly South America is the same. They have nothing to prove to the rest of the world. they're too busy tending their own 'sheep' ( as it were). They stay calm  and vigilant on their own shores. and look after their own first.

Answer 2

Yeah,you ´re right.Canada is very neuter,has always been neuter,has never involved in anything big,and south america doesn´t have patriotic people disposed to fight by the side of the country.if think it´s this.
