canada and the US are often scoffed at by other countries because the two have it so good that their residents often get bored and go on bitch-fests (i.e. write angry letters, organize rallies…rant in their online journals) at the slightest provocation, or, as scary as it sounds, because it’s the fashionable thing to do.
