Bashing America is a stain on Canadian culture, and it’s pathetic.

Im a fellow Canadian on this sub and I want to talk about the slander that my fellow Cancucks give to you guys. Not all, but all lot of Canadians, in Canada, tend to bash America, and Americans. The reasoning behind this, goes back a long time ago, for a pathetic reason, being that a lot of Canadians tend to feel insecure about their identity and hate it when they are mistaken for being Americans, so to distant themselves from Americans so they resorted to just bash and heavily criticize them. You know, the usual, “Americans are fat, school shoutings, no free healthcare, dumb.” A lot of these claims that Canadians tend to make are very stupid, because in our case, we HAVE NO HIGHER GROUND. Ive seen plenty of obese Canadians, school shootings and gang shootings are thing in Canada, sure our healthcare is universal but it’s also ass. And this is just what I saw on the internet, I’ve also heard Canadians bashing Americans IRL. I’ve heard one girl say to me that Americans are fat incels, who are dumb, and I’ve heard a guy told me that America is racist. My father who taught me not to generalize, said that all Canadians are polite, and when I asked him about Americans, he said that they are dicks. Another reason that Canadians love to bash America is that they have a superior complex. We tend to think that we are America but just better, which is not true. Now on one hand, this makes sad because we Canadians should love our southern neighbours, our cowboy yanks, not bash em. On the other hand, I laugh because, Canadians are so adamant on how different we are, when in reality, it’s our own god damn fault that we are so different! Don’t get me wrong, we are bound to be similar I.E, accents, middle class culture, etc, and America exported their culture around the world. But aspects of culture traditions that make American culture unique, we just straight up take. Prom, western cowboy culture (rodeos), red solo cups, Thanksgiving, yellow school buses, foods like PBJ, and s’mores and Boy Scouts. Now I ain’t the one to gatekeep, a lot of countries do those but at least they have their own spin to it, that makes it their own. For example, in the US, you would receive Chinese fortune cookies after a meal in a Chinese restaurant, which is something that doesn’t happen in China. But for CANADA, we just take it, and not put it spin on it. Like copying your friend’s homework. The only things aspects of American culture that we took and made it unique is Thanksgiving, which is celebrated on October and IN THEORY, we celebrate it for a different reason, and although not generally American, more like western American, but the Stampede festival in Alberta.

TLDR: A lot of Canadians are insecure asf

Edit: also why can’t we just all agree that both America and Canada have a lot of bad stuff about them but a lot of good stuff too. Give credit where credit is due.
