Becoming American would be a fate worse than death for most Canadians
Ya, I know it was said on another forum. But I'm curious what posters have to say about the comment on this site.
To me, such a comment can only come from a bigot, nothing more, nothing less.
Comments?
Why would that statement necessarily be a bigoted one?
What if the question were reversed? Would you consider becoming a Canadian a fate worse than death? Based on the right wing slant of many Americans, I'd guess that that would be their answer.
I would not consider it worse than death, but I would see it as the worst day in my entire life if Canada were swallowed by the USA. I have zero interest in becoming an American.
I'm Canadian and will be until the day I die, period. That's patriotism, not racism...
Great spin but that's not what he said. If he had a choice between death and becoming an American, he would choose death.
I'm quite sure I would pick to live anywhere in the Western World rather than die.
