I'm a truly proud Canadian, but why do I care so much about what Americans think of us and our culture? Why do I take it personally when Canada is (occasionally) bashed in the US television media? I'm so proud of what we as a Canadian nation have acccomplished with public healthcare, bilingualism, a strong economy (member of G8).
Why is American acknowledgement so important to me? Inferiority complex?
Constructive and intelligent answers only please.

I would not call it an inferiority complex, but a sense of frustration. It is amazing how Americans (many, not all) are oblivious about anything and anyone who is not American or someone they are at war with. I am sure they come by it honestly from just a lack of education in world affairs.

You have no reason to feel inferior to anyone, any Country or anything. So just stop. Be proud of where you are from and what our great Country stands for.
