Monday, November 29, 2004 Canadian anti-Americanism I hope everyone -- Canadian and American readers -- will take a gander at this piece from yesteday's Washington Post. (Free registration required.) It's a testimonial piece by an American socioloigst who moved to Toronto. She discusses in-depth the rampant anti-American sentiments she's encountered here (and trust me, she's no Bush-loving conservative.) Just one of her observations: Part of what's irksome about Canadian anti-Americanism and the obsession with the United States is that it seems so corrosive to Canada. Any country that defines itself through a negative ("Canada: We're not the United States") is doomed to an endless and repetitive cycle of hand-wringing and angst. I've said that for a while, and glad others feel the same way. This article is a very sobering and troubling account, and I'm sad to say it's true. # posted by Adam Daifallah : 1:42 PM    << Home   National Post peeps RSS - Syndicate me! Andrew Coyne J.
