1) Canada
2) Multiculturalism, high standard of living, decent education system, free health care, we like beer and say sorry a lot,
3) Our history with our native peoples, political pandering to the US, high taxes, erosion of our social systems because of gov mis spending.
4) My feelings towards America and Americans are different. On an individual level Americans can be great, focussed, hard working, dedicated people. En masse they start taking on negative traits Americans are associated with (arrogant, self possessed, ignorant).America the country needs a swift kick in the head but that will only happen when social conditions get bad enough for its populace to demand actual reform.
5) Racism is always present. You can never escape it completely but acceptance of other people and cultures is a very important thing here.
