Let's see... the title of the page in the URL is "US-FOREIGN-AID".

You can assume anything you want, but in this case, you would be wrong.

"You may be surprised to learn that most countries outside of Western
Europe, Canada and Australia get foreign aid from the U.S"

Sorry, no condescension here... I like Canada! To bad you have such an
inferiority complex about your country that you see insults where none

Two things...

1) You'll have to show me where I ever insulted Canada or Canadians. You
manufactured an insult out of nothing. I wonder why you are so

2) You and I agree on one thing... we are both glad you decided to
settle in Canada.
