I would like to see your thoughts on this.

My two thoughts were typical for the ego of the United States.

Moreover, I not surprised today is a slow day in US news.

- Very little is known of the Canadian country since it is rarely visited by anyone but the Queen and illiterate sport fishermen.

Ironic considering the complaint is about anti-Canadian rhetoric, answered with jabs at the US...

Canada is Nirvana for many American "Blue Staters." Indeed, there was some commentary during America's last presidential election, that some of our liberal Democrats were considering moving to Canada if Bush won. In fact, I believe there was a short-lived spike in inquiries about immigration, following the election.

For conservative "Red Staters," then, Canada is something akin to France-nice. The French are proud of the fervent secularism, bedrock anti-Americanism, and their relatively socialistic economic system. Canada leans the same direction, but is tamer and more polite about it.

Personally, I've only seen Vancouver BC and Niagra Falls, but was always impressed with the natural beauty, and the general politeness that seems to pervade the society. On the other hand, my politics lean a different direction.

Call me a Pollyanna but I think it is really disheartening that peoples of different countries, all of Father's children, can't think of anything else to do but insult each other. Certainly not the way Enoch's city of Zion was established, an aspiration to which we should be striving.

We should expect the people of God to behave better, but if you expect political commentators or politicians to demonstrate such gospel love, well, ya...kind Pollyanna.
