I think of the films out of Canada, the musicians, etc...you guys are different than people in the states-and I have a hard time putting my finger on it but I know it's true, so when I watched the vid of Miriam, I kept reminding myself of that and not letting her delivery of the message get to me. She's Canadian. That's all.
God Bless Canada!

I agree, we are very different from Americans. And we do take some pride in that. What I appreciate about most Canadians is that they are guileless and are very good at making fun of themselves. Could be why many famous Comedians are Canadian?
The something you can't put your finger on is that we are so used to being the brunt of jokes by Americans that we just laugh and have our own jokes about why someone would want to act condescendingly to someone else.
It reminds me of the younger brother who was picked on by the older, bully brother but grows up to be better looking and have a much more likable personality.
Just being completely honest.
