We look up to America even while we resent being looked down on in turn. But, that's just the thing. We don't look down on you. For the most part, we don't even see you. Just like most of us don't see the state next to us. We care about our home, our block, our cities, and, for the most part, that's about it, until something major happens, and we're made aware that there's something outside of our cities.

For the most part, we don't think about Canada. Which you could take as a compliment of sorts. Means that nothing majorly bad really happens and there's nothing for us to mock. "We're" (and by that I mean the media) is good at the mocking and jump at the chance to do so whenever possible. That we don't mock you guys? Means that there isn't something that we can find to mock.

So, in other words, you guys are doing a good job. You don't come to the attention of a society that's generally self-interested but loves to take time out to ridicule.
