Gord is technically correct..cause nationalism and/or patriotism means believing your country is better or morally superior than others. But there's a difference between admiring what your country has accomplished in making the world a better place to live and believing it can do no wrong, that it is morally superior to other countries. Some people, like Mr Neff think the two are one and the same. I think Gord means that unthinking nationalism is inherently racist.. I say be proud of what America and Canada have accomplished and the bedrock principles we were founded on and realize that we are ruled by frail puny human beings who make mistakes...
