criticism
<S_M got ticked, as a Canadian, because the US has precious little grounds for criticizing his nation...
A depressingly large number of Canadians seem to get morbid joy out of criticising the United States, yet Canada is HYPER sensitive to--and immediately dismissive of--any criticism directed its way.
This is typically Canadian...they spend far too much time patting themselves on the back and telling anyone who'll listen why they are the best people on the planet. If their feet ever touched the ground, they'd get blisters.
