No...
Two things: first, I wish I could be a cunt around people who annoy me. But I can't. It's just not in me. A tenant once invited his friend over to do her laundry here. I was livid. I ended up doing it while they went out, even though I went downstairs with the intention to evict him and tell her to fuck off back to Etobicoke.
Second, no... our connection with the U.S. is stronger. I just meant... O.K, let me just say what I actually think so it's clear and can't be misinterpreted: Canada isn't a "thing". It's a political arrangement. The THING is NL/Maritimes/New England, TO/Great Lakes US/Eastern Seaboard, Prairies/Prairies. B.C./Washington. We have stronger connections to the portions of America below us than we do to each other.
But because we're separate countries, we know that things... this common "American-ness", isn't based on the U.S. alone, so we're more open to the Spanish/Portuguese obsession that the America/Americans in the U.S. are doing it wrong.
