Well, actually, we aren't "simply disarmed Americans with health care". That is called begging the question. Canadians are distinct from Americans and always have been. The entire basis of our history is different. In as sense, we came first: we were in Quebec (1604) and Newfoundland (1498) before anyone except the Spanish (who were just passing through) hit what would become the Thirteen Colonies.

The very fact tat you throw in several insults into one phrase that makes Canucks very, very weary of Cousin Jonathan (an old 19th century term for Yanks) all too often. You just can't seem to resist it..
