>"Canada's interests have hardly advanced during his time in office and, in some cases, have suffered," rued a columnist in the Toronto Sun. To be Canadian is to permanently lament the country's status - or lack of it - in American life.
>One Canadian diplomat to the US entitled his memoirs, I'll Be With You in a Minute, Mr Ambassador. It was a refrain he heard often in Washington.
>To say that Canada figures little in the mental America landscape would be charitable. With the exception of the cities in some states on the border - the top of New York, Michigan, and Washington state, in particular - Americans hardly think of Canada at all.
>Americans travel far less to foreign countries than citizens of other nations, are more likely to speak only one language, and lack so much knowledge of the rest of the world that a government-appointed task force described US ignorance a genuine threat to national security.

>Sometimes Canadian insecurity can reach absurd levels. Canadians were furious when, nine days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, then-President George W Bush thanked many nations for their expressions of support but forgot to mention Canada.
No, the reason, which you conveniently omitted, was that Canada took a massive national security risk by accepting all redirected American flights in the Northeast, flights which could have been compromised and a danger to the country.
Yet Bush thanks other countries that called up to say "Sorry about your towers" instead.

And this is the "most trusted news source in the world."
We dont think about canada because its basically just like another state to us.
They fall into the same catagory we file away places like puerto rico. Not us, but us. The specifics are tedious technicalities nobody bothers thinking about.
