Speaking as a Canadian, the fact that we can't seem to worry about anything that isn't already inherently boring, moronic, xenophobic or mundane. Our country should have a larger place in the world; Ignatieff said we have a greater potential than any other country in the world to resolve the problems of mulitnationalism and globalization which are transforming the world right now.

I'm complaining that we can't seem to think about that rather than the snow, or beer, insects, our tiresome domestic politics, or our petty adolescent view of the Americans. That's a mentality that assumes that all the thinking on our core values has really been done, when in fact it is not done.

The ultimate complaint:

http://www.vivelecanada.ca/article.php/20030907000453728
"Lament for a Nation is a true lament, a passionate expression of grief, regret, and sorrow. The Canada whose death he mourns is the country that George saw personified in his own mother, a country tied to European values as it is to the physical realities of the New World in order to create a society of free and equal people who are less disordered, unstable, undemocratic, and violent than Americans. To be truly Canadian, we are forced to be more British than the British, more French than the French, and more American than the Americans in putting our ideals into practice. Growing up in Ontario when he did and coming to know Quebec as well as he does, George had taken it for granted that to be a Canadian is to be a unique kind of North American. Being northerners, being British and French and European, have made Canadians tough rather than pretty, have given us a greater loyalty to being good than to being free. This Canada, his Canada, has been extinguished by politicians who gave their allegiance to multinational corporations rather than their fellow citizens."

Better question yet, why do Americans think Canadians hate them? Canadians don't hate Americans. we hate that the Americans hate us, and we complain about that fact. Contrary to what you might think, we rarely discuss Americans, would rather discuss our own f'd up government and the issues here before we bother with American problems too! I live in Alberta and have been here all my life and am 4th generation. I now have a sister living in Houston. She has dual citizenship... here is one other thing we hate from American's, stop asking her if she used to live in an igloo!!!! Use google or something and see what Edmonton, Calgary, and other cities in Alberta look like!

The weather.
The notion that "the government should pay for" whatever it is they think but without raising taxes in the process.
The weather.
The endless tons of salt poured on the roads each time the threat of snowflakes is in the forecast.
The weather.
The inability to maintain many of our nation's highways.
Last, but certainly not least: the weather.

High gas prices-because the americans are taking all our oil.
High taxes-because we are giving our oil to the americans for cheap so our taxes are high.
