It was nice knowing you

It is too bad to, as I was just getting to know Michael Coron. But now he has simply gone too far, he is committed the ultimate faux pas in Canada...he has claimed that teh US is better than Canada. (Hat-tip NealeNews)

Have you caught your breath yet. O.K., good. And put your pitch fork down...

...I love this country. I came here almost 19 years ago and have spent the majority of my adult life here.
It pains me to say it, it really does. But the fact is that in so many areas and walks and ways of life, the United States is now a better country than Canada.
There, I've said it. Because I'm so very tired of the way, particularly in the last two years, that we Canadians have come to define ourselves not by who we are but by who we are not.

I am not sure if he is right or not. Furthermore, I am about as Patriotic as they come, but I agree we need to do a better job of defining we are. Anti-Americanism does not make a culure.
