| What superiority complex? Many of us feel under constant attack and

If you feel it's an attack.... maybe you should try and understand why it's
so constant and focused. It's like you are stepping on someone's foot and
claiming he's screaming at nothing instead of looking down to see what
you're doing.

On a per capita basis... that's not correct. I believe the opposite is true.


Furthermore, the U.S. has paved the way for much of

Pardon Me??? where the hell did you come by that notion? You established
nothing for us... we've done this and not at your discretion, nor
permission. Unions.... Bah! You're unions slipped in where if they hadn't..
other unions could have been formed in Canada.

How can you be so ignorant of Canadian history. We've been a Commonwealth
Country since Inception. There was no revolution here. We appropriated the
BNA legally. We still have close ties with the British Crown.

except

by

| superiority complexes, we like you.

Quebecois are out version of Americans... so in effect you can dish it out
but not take it eh?


| Honestly.
| Now stop laughing at us or you'll get the evil eye, you know, the look,
and
| you don't want that do ye?

No.. we don't want to do that... Americans are generally liked up here.
It's your collective behaviour that is a cause for concern. We feel quite
free to point it out to you.. and that's not based out of fear... it's
family.
