Ok I am just interested in a curious social phenomenon, whereby we Europeans all feel friendly towards that great country Canada, who fought with us in 2 world wars and shares so much of our cuture. Their people are widely regarded as open minded, well mannered and civilised.
And yet only a BORDER - a purely man made barrier- separates our friends the Canadians from another group of States (The United States) who also dearly want to be our best friends, who have consistently been our allies in World
wars and yet are perceived as being uneducated, ignorant, Christian fundamentalists whose only interest is in causing pollution, torture and gunfire.
How did things arrive at this state of affairs? I was brought up to think of the USA as our friends so how has it all come about?
