I've always hated this holier-than-thou "we're great because we aren't American" attitude. If your identity hinges on pointing at something and saying "I'm not that!" then you don't have an identity and the other thing is more real than you, no matter how much better you desperately pretend you are. America and Americans are awesome, and I love Canada for what it has been, what it could be, and even for what it is, even though that leaves a lot to be desired right now. These people just want the quick ego boost that comes from dunking on America in their self-congratulating and smarmy socialist social circles. Lame, cringy, and a transparent psychological defense mechanism against the fact that they can't find anything else to be proud of other than not being American and that it's exactly this attitude which led to many of Canada's current problems.
