I would also argue... that we are, by inclination and in terms of our history, we are small 'l' liberals, we Canadians.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I see myself as a small 'l' liberal, but not coalition liberal, necessarily.
Yet another thing Canadians and Europeans have in common is an obsession with the United States, and with distinguishing themselves from it, often by crude stereotyping.
There's just kind of a sweetness about Canadians. Americans are a little more pushy, I mean, in a way that I enjoy - they're basically pushy because of their enthusiasm - we're a lot clumsier than other people.
Over the past several years, all of us as Canadians, and as members of the North American cultural and economic environment, have been to a greater or lesser extent party to a significant attitudinal change towards our culture.
Most liberals I know do not consider themselves to even be liberals. They just think of you and me as conservatives, and that means, therefore, we're odd and we're kooks and maybe extreme and maybe mean.
I believe that Canadians have the common sense to see that a better future cannot be built on fragmentation.
Yeah, we're sweet but savage, and I think a lot of Canadians are that way.
We are a small nation, but strong.
I've learned what it truly means to be Canadian and in turn I've been inspired to make a difference in the world, however small it's been.
I am libertarian, and Americans generally are, more than, say, Canadians and Australians.
