I do not hate the American people. I have many American friends who are fine people.
I hate America's politicians for the following reasons:
- Calling America a "free" country while passing the PATRIOT Act.
- Screwing over my country of Canada under NAFTA through Softwood Lumber. If the Canadian government tries protectionist methods of protecting local markets, the American government holds a gun to their head. If America does the same to us, we are forced to comply.
- Going to war on false evidence, for the wrong reasons. "We are going to war to protect the American people from WMD's!" A year passes, after no WMD's found. "We had to free the Iraqi people!"
- Bible-thumpers. Nuff said. Bush doing a press shot with a bible in his hand, while sending a few thousand people to their deaths for oil or disallowing women to have rights over their own body.
