Canadians and Australians better than Americans?

Question

Why is it that Canadians and Australians are always writing about how much better they are than Americans.
Americans do not get this much grief from other countries, why these two?
What is their deal, who do they think they are?

Australia is a little island which started off as a penal colony(colony used to detain prisoners to force them to work in an economically underdeveloped land)so that is where most of these rejects come from.

As for Canada,its economy relies heavily on trade, particularly with the United States.
Over time, they have been greatly influenced by American culture. Many forms of American media and entertainment are popular, if not dominant in Canada. So these people are just a bunch of ingrates.

for pkdepp: Australia seems to be very cool when it comes to standing up for itself, yes i do admire that and everything you wrote makes sence, sometimes i feel America is too leanient towards these matters.

Answer 1

Perhaps the reason is because of opinions like to ones who have just written? You have just paid-out both Australia and Canada. Of course we will then try to let people know how great we are?

I could tell you about how Australia has come a long way from a penal colony and is now one of the friendliest, multicultural places to live. But I won't, I am a decendent of a First Fleet convict, and proud.

Generally(not on the net) I think Australians are very supportive. The Canadians....eh...not so much.

Answer 4

They are haters because America is the greatest country on this earth. We learned that in social studies class in 5th grade.

Answer 5

Where is your data on a poll taken?
Aussies need to be admired.
Read the Prime Minister's message:

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday
to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to
head off potential terror attacks.

A day after a group of mainstream Muslim leaders pledged loyalty to
Australia at a special meeting with Prime Minister John Howard, he and his
ministers made it clear that extremists would face a crackdown.

Treasurer Peter Costello, seen as heir apparent to Howard, hinted that
some radical clerics could be asked to leave the country if they did not
accept that Australia was a secular State and its laws were made by
parliament.

"If those are not your values, if you want a country that has Sharia law
or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you", he said on national
television.

"Immigrants, not Australians must adapt. Take it or leave it. I am tired
of this Nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or
their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a
surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.

However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the
"politically correct" crowd began complaining about the possibility that
our patriotism was offending others. I am not against immigration nor do I
hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to
Australia.

However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our
country, and apparently some who were born here, need to understand. The
idea of Australia being a multicultural community has served only to
dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Australians we have
our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle.

This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials
and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.
We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese or Arabic, Chinese,
Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you want to become
part of our society,...learn the language.

Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing,
political push but a fact because Christian men and women, on Christian
principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is
certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God
offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your
new home, because God is part of our culture.

We will accept your beliefs and will not question why, all we ask is that
you accept ours and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us. If the
Southern Cross offends you or you don’t like a "Fair Go" then you should
seriously consider a move to another part of this planet.

We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change and we really
don’t care how you did things where you came from. By all means, keep your
culture but do not force it on others.

This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE and we will allow you
every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining,
whining and griping about our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs or
Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other
great Australian freedom: THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.

If you are not happy here then LEAVE. We didn’t force you to come here.
You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.

"I’d be saying to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws
governing people in Australia, one the Australian law and another - the
Islamic law. That is false. If you can’t agree with parliamentary law,
independent courts, democracy and would prefer Sharia law and have the
opportunity to go to another country, which practices it, perhaps, then,
that’s a better option" Costello said.

Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be forced to leave, he said
those with dual citizenship could possibly be asked to move to the other
country.

Education minister Brendan Nelson later told reporters that Muslims who
do not want to accept local values should " clear off "

"Basically, people who don’t want to be Australians and they don’t want
to live by Australian values and understand them, well then they can
basically clear off" he said. Separately Howard angered some Australian
Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the
nations mosques.

Answer 6

Let's hear it for Korea! <333

Australians and Canadians competing with United States for attention and resources perhaps?

Answer 7

Canadians and Australians do not quite fit in do they, they are not European, and they are not American, so they feel they must yell their crummy little hearts out so that they can not be forgotten(lol)

Answer 8

The best.

Answer 9

They are mad because we haven't surrendered to the terrorists, like they have.
As soon as they have a terrorist attack in their own countries, their attitudes "may" change.

Answer 10

Australians are a bunch of criminals and no one loves the Canucks.
