I'm a canadian driver that spends most of my time stateside. And you know...you can realy tell the difference between the two countries. People down there ask me what Canada's like...and the best answer I can give them is, "well, it's home".
The relationship between our two countries is like a couple of competing siblings. I guess most people reading this are going to say that their country is the best, for the same reason....it's home.
God forbid one should address any problem that a country has in a completely objective manner; because that will grossly offend someone. People are too busy worrying about that to get right down to the root cause.
