proud american here. you are a great nation. you became the dominion of canada and finally lead your own foreign affairs after shedding blood in the great war. there's no shame in being a former colony to one of the greatest empires which we ourselves owe a lot of our legal foundations and culture from. but now is the true test for you guys. canadians created a vast wilderness into a prosperous developed landscape. your countryside is absolutely beautiful and i say this as someone who grew up in colorado and south carolina. you're some of the kindest yet take-no-shit people on the globe. don't give in to defeatism.
