Travel a bit and you might learn something about the world. If you only rely on the U.S. media you'll never realize what your missing. Americans seem to think Canada is the 51st state, well it's not. The two countries are very different in size and attitude, especially the different way the two countries view the ENTIRE world. Canada sees things as more global community.
Not surprisingly, somebody immature and arrogant took my post to mean something it did not based on their own stereotype.
I say this: Idiot, re-read my post and actually answer the question I asked. Canada is not in a strategical position and never takes unpredictable positions in wars, if they even fight in the wars. Canadian politics are boring, elections are plain, simple, and again, Canada is not important in that their political actions namely mean nothing worldwide. Canada's large cities are much like American cities, their people much like Americans, and their lives similar to ours. So now I ask you, since you evidently know everything: (after all, you
are what, sixteen?) What Canadian stories
should the United States media be covering? Canadian sports? I hear the
National Hockey League's got a few Canadian teams that are failing. Enlighten me with your ever-present knowledge, oh great one.
While the U.S. only sees a ways to advance their own agenda. I live close to the N.Y. state border and it always amazes me at the sheer ignorance of americans,
Yes, well, you're extremely intelligent yourself - what with saying other people are ignorant.
Not all americans are narrow minded but they just don't seem to care what happens elsewhere except in their own little part of the world.
How's this, Idiot: I know more of what goes on in the world than you, and that's a fact. And the reason I can say this as fact is that you've not only clearly generalised an entire population based on naive stereotypes from a country very similar to your own, but that you don't even understand - or could bother to answer - a simple question that I posed without going off on a tangent about how much you think Americans are narrow-minded. The reason, Idiot, you perceive Americans in the way that you do is probably because of your generalisations - not theirs.
Now - let's go back to the original question and see if you finally have an answer. What is newsworthy that occurs in Canada?
) so I know how you feel. If you do go, I wish you best of luck.
