Canada is pretty impressive. It isn't loud and brash like its southern neighbor but Canada, IMHO, has come into its own, albeit quietly. I have sensed a palpable increase in Canadian pride over the years we have visited Canada, and justifiably so.
As an American there is much to envy in Canada. I prefer Canadian media to US media. It has more class and is less crass. In fact, I listen to the CBC on XM radio everyday. Their cities are cleaner than US cities overall. I'm not going to run a list, but I do want to mention Canadian train travel. We love to travel by train. Canada Rail reminds me of some of the best European rail travel. Well done, Canada! It's fun. My god, imagine saying that about American rail travel. LOL!
It seems that Canadians are more aware of who they are as a nation. Nothing is certain but change and Canada overall seems be comfortable now being Canada and not competing in every way with the US. As Americans we haven't noticed Canada's growing identity, but Canadians have certainly noticed it.
