Have We Canadians Gotten a Little Too Big for Our Britches?

A second clip regarding Martin's recent criticism of the US, from Media Matters:

On the December 14 edition of Fox News' Your World, host Neil Cavuto presented a segment highlighting recent remarks by Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin that were critical of America's global environmental policies. To introduce the segment, Cavuto asked, "Could our neighbors to the north soon be our enemies?" and he later inquired, "Have the Canadians gotten a little bit too big for their britches?" During the subsequent interview with Canadian lawyer and political analyst Patrice Burnett, Cavuto continually interrupted his guest and asked such questions as, "Do the Canadian people hate America as much as your politicians seem to?"

Watch carefully for Burnett's expression when he asked whether the Canadian people hate America.

Canada Bashing

According to MSNBC host Tucker Carlson:

Canada is essentially a stalker, stalking the United States, right? Canada has little pictures of us in its bedroom, right? Canada spends all of its time thinking about the United States, obsessing over the United States. It's unrequited love between Canada and the United States. We, meanwhile, don't even know Canada's name. We pay no attention at all.

He has much more to say too.  Watch the clip.
