When did Canada get promoted to anything remotely the equal of the U.S.?
Really sorry to hurt feelings but despite the 5 or 10 negative articles you run here on a daily basis about the U.S., you are rarely mentioned in the U.S. media and are on no one's radar. Except in weather reports where Canada gets an honorable mention for cold fronts heading our way, no one cares about Canada.  You can do a dick dance of anger over it, but you are of no consequence to Americans.
