   It's bad enough you are hopelessly ADDICTED to US politics, but your   
   propensity to outright LIE about them is sinful!   
      
   Grow a life, at least pretend to act like a patriotic Canucklehead (if   
   there is such a thing).   
      
   You ignore your own simple dull nation, absorb your mind into ours.   
      
   Literally you dismiss your own walk-in beer cooler of a country as   
   insignificant to the point you refuse to even engage in commentary or   
   analysis of your own politics.   
      
   You evince the classic Canuck "widdle brudda" mentality, always chasing   
   after the USA in a desperate attempt to coattail on OUR national affairs.   
      
   You demonstrate how bereft Canucks are of any national pride and how   
   desperately you need to use the USA as a whipping post to excuse   
   yourselves from your own national blunders and dearth of presence on the   
   global stage.   
      
   It must SUCK to be a Canuck, for sure!
