Topic:What I dislike about my country?

I'm gonna talk about something I dislike about my country. I'm from Canada.

One of the things I don't like about Canada is that we tend to define ourselves in contrast to Americans instead of really coming up with an idea of who we are. You know, Canadians tend to compare themselves to the US a lot and we tend to, you know, try to poke fun at the US but really it's, it's jealousy. You know, we need to, to really start thinking about who we are as a country and start building that rather than using the Americans as a scapegoat and, and looking to what they have and mocking it. Because like it or not, they have a very good sense of who they are and we need to, we need to do the same. Thank you very much.
