The attitude of Canadians, or the attitude of the world regarding us? I'd say the article is pretty accurate regarding both .. although maybe a little overflattering to us (of course, being Canadian .. I'd have to say that wouldn't I?). As a nation we have a lot to be proud of .. and a fair number of things to be so proud of. I think we've kind of adopted a national identity as being the cute but shy girl in the corner of the room. Outstanding when the light hits us just right, but for the most part content to watch and occasionally shake our head at the drunken antics of our extroverted southern neighbor ;P
I'd like to believe that as a nation, we care more about the right thing getting done.. that in getting credit for it being done.
