Personally, I always find it kind of odd that so many people (non-Americans) have so little pride and respect for what their countries have done for them and the people who built those countries up to what they are today.

I believe Canadian's are patriotic, but we're just not as vocal about it. Walk down your street and tell me how many American flags are hanging in the yards in your neighborhood.
I'd probably have to walk 10 blocks in every direction to find just 1.
The thing that made me first notice American patriotism was the Major League Baseball All-Star game right after the first Gulf War started. When whoever was signing sang, "Our flag was still there," the place erupted to the point where you couldn't hear the rest of the song. It was literally spine tingling.
When they sing the National Anthem up here, we can't even stand up because we're drunk from all the beer we've drank before the game. BUT, it is CANADIAN beer. See, we're just patriotic in different ways.
