Very proud of Canada
Learned this way from an early age
Every Canadian knows it by heart: of all the countries in the world, only one is the best and that is Canada. The obviousness of this opinion sometimes seems a bit stupid to people from other countries.
Actually, it's no wonder that Canadians feel this way about their own country. It is literally hammered in on almost all occasions. At school, at home, by the government.
Anyone in Canada who even dares to doubt that Canada is not the best country in the world will immediately be looked at strangely.
The very fact that so many immigrants come to Canada is a continuous confirmation that the country must be the best on earth. Otherwise they wouldn't have come, right? And there are many more who would also like to move to Canada. You don't need more proof, do you?
Pride, patriotism, chauvinism, a bit of everything
The national anthem is sung every day at school. Also at many sporting events. Perhaps at other meetings too.
The Canadian flag can be seen almost everywhere. Statements that Canada is the best country on earth can be found in the most unlikely places. Questioning this is not appreciated.
People like to cite studies and research that rank the quality of life and attractiveness of various countries and cities. Do you already know who the winner is, every time?
Hopefully you don't even think of criticizing Canada. You don't make friends with that.
Even if you bring up things that are done differently elsewhere, you will immediately encounter grumbling resistance. How dare you!
Anyone who is not convinced that everything is done better in Canada than anywhere else should shut up. Canada doesn't have to learn anything from other countries because as it is now, it couldn't actually be better.
A bit complacent perhaps? Can really nothing be better?
From the Promised Land
Perhaps it would be nice to read our main article about "The Promised Land" again. Because yes, Canada is indeed a great country.
But no one should be ashamed of the fact that there are things that could perhaps be improved, right? You don't have to get offended by that, do you?
Really, what happens in other countries is not always completely wrong. One might even, occasionally, learn something from that.
