Why are most of the posts on this CANADIAN site about events that are happening in America? This insidious creep of American culture and foreign policy is what is in fact 'Americanizing' Canada. If all we read about is from America, no wonder we lose site of the Canadian identity.

An interesting tidbit to highlight my point. The first incandescent light bulb was patented in Canada, and Edison bought the patent. Still, as Canadians, we recite the US propaganda that Edison invented it. We know more about America than we do about ourselves, (and most of what we know about America is false) because we keep highlighting the US instead of highlighting Canadian achievements, even in a community that is labelled 'Canada'. This would never happen to any site in the US. We need to start promoting CANADA on a site labeled 'Canada'.
