    Same thing for me in Canada.

    You cannot seriously buy into all of the values that Canada, as a country, has demonstrated for the last several hundred years.

    You have to be the biggest ignoramus in the world to ignore how many social problems Canada (as an entity) is responsible for and fails to address in a meaningful ongoing way.

      I mean, it can mean opposition to the US way, which is basically the old British Empire way. The polls bear this out, too - patriotism is correlated with voting left and tolerance in Canada.

          Not for many decades, and things have changed a lot. That’s what I’m saying, new Canada is kind of opposite to old Canada (which flew the Union Jack until 1965), and old Canada is dying out.

          You could argue that’s not the actual state of things, but like I said, the hard data indicates most people at least see it that way.
