I tend to agree, besides Canadians share many traits and values with our American neighbors. And not every American is out to invade Canada or like every Russian is out to take over the world either. I do have relatives in the US and they are not as our Canadian media portrays them to be.
I made a decision to move to the US and, ultimately, become a citizen. Honestly, I'm more than a little embarrassed about the state of things, but moving back to Canada is looking more and more possible of late.
