Canadians and Americans 

Canadians and Americans

John Doyle, who writes on television in the Globe and Mail, has some wise words on Canadians:

"We have three levels of relationship with Americans: 1) We make fun of them. 2) We get furious with them. 3) We are in awe of them. Basically, we feel superior. It's not healthy. We also obsess about this relationship. It's all over the TV menu. That's even less healthy."

"You know, if you consider the entire night on Canadian television, much of it is devoted to reflecting our tangled relationship with the United States."
