On the way to work this morning I was listening to the radio and this woman was talking about healthy fast food. For breakfast she said the McDonald’s Egg McMuffin was #1 in healthy fast food for breakfast.

Try looking at it from the other direction, if you can.

I didn’t get offended and accusatory. I answered YOUR sensitivity. Trust me.

Yes, I do. Take comments 48-50, for example.

Maybe Americans aren’t adept at laughing at themselves. We Canadians love to laugh at ourselves. It isn’t “bashing” and I don’t see how Kim or Rick were bashing. They were making tongue in cheek remarks. I am not sure why you are so sensitive about it. ONe thing we have learned, being the northern less powerful cousins of the US, is to not only not take ourselves seriously, but to take a lot of harassment and sometimes some pretty downright nasty jibes from the US. Not always though. You don’t see us getting all offended and accusatory.

…and yes, some Americans do bash Canada. Apparently you find that kind of behavior admirable—so much so that you imitate it.

I couldn’t help myself … call it a compulsion.

Then why did you just do it?

As long as I continue to see Ann Coulter make idiotic remarks about Canada, I’ll feel justified in the occasional America-bashing.

…but that’s not what my comment was about.

My comment was a commentary on the tendency of Canadians to define themselves as ‘not American’, rather than as some set of qualities.

Additionally, I have no need to bash the Republicans .. they’re doing a fine job of sinking their own ship.
