It's a pretty nice country, it's got a little bit of everything. It has flaws, and as Americans we complain about them and try to get them fixed to constantly improve it.

I think a lot of the images of America being so bad comes from our overwhelming volume online.

    I really like the choice of "more perfect union" in the preamble because it does really reinforce that we will always have flaws. To me, it reminds us of our flaws, not to deride us but so that we might seek to improve upon them and never rest on our own laurels.

    Criticizing your country because you wish for it to improve is amung the most patriotic things a person can do.

    Canada thought you were shit long before the internet

    It’s a big reason for our historical loyalty to the crown

    As an American I have a positive image of Canada, they're the closest thing we have to a sibling in my mind. And if the providences ever wanted state hood I'd support them joining, but I'm sure a lot of Canadians would take exception to that.

    Our state is Canada, if we were to join then it would be one state

    Just like how your states joined, the German states joined together to form Germany, and the European states joined the EU
