"canadians had an air of cultural superiority about them" I think it goes back to them burning our white house down in 1812.

Mike, Everybody feels superior to everone else :-) Its human nature. Canadians generally feel pretty smug next to Americans because they have a generally better 'average' lifestyle. Not as high as in the US, but never as low either. Better 'safety net' etc What happens sometimes with Canadian's like Frum is their internal politics bleeds over into foreign policy discussions. Right now there is a lot of debate internally in Canada about the handling of the relationship with the US. John
