Seems rather silly if this is indeed what TH is saying. Americans have to live with the wrongs we made back in the day, so why should other countries be able to rid of their history.

I don't think there is any distinguishable line between the issues important to Americans and Canadians, the only difference is population size and where our majorities sit on the political spectrum.

If you look at the Muslamic Ray Guns video I've posted a few times on here, that is what I would say the perception of people from the north can be like.
This is true. Just got back from Cambridge and my southern friends used to think this was what the north was like, just chavs and scum walking the earth. And if you come to the North, we basically think everybody down south is a toff.

Well, nobody's perfect.
Let's say we haven't oppressed or tried to enslave or wipe out anyone in the last, oh, thousand years. Not too many countries can say that.
Actually, not too many countries can talk. None can in fact, but you get the idea.

Including Ireland, regardless of the fact that it's been too puny and weak to enforce its will upon any other countries for centuries.
