This group is for Canadians who are tired of Canadians attacking America.
We began to think outside the mob mentality and found that we should say, “America is okay.”
It is not that our fellow citizens state clearly that they hate America, but we recognize the connotation. We grow so tired when we sense hatred of the U.S. It is in the news. It lurkes beneath conversations. It is all too easy, accepted, and, unfortunately, common.
Yet this diminishes us. It is truly sad.
This group is for Canadians who do not have the "short-man complex." We know we’re a great country. We know we are more than just "not American." We don’t need to insult another to build ourselves up. Our identity is greater than the “chesterfield,” “eh,” “tuque,” or “poutine.” We can clear the gravy and cheese off our brain by setting aside our pride to see what is good in our neighbor, America.
Canada, we love you! And America, you're not so bad either....
