At least as a Canadian I am proud to say we don't go into other countries picking useless stupid fights (wars, police actions, etc.). If your country is so hard up for a reliable energy source, instead of going to war to get oil, why not convert to solar power, wind power, etc.???

I gotta agree with the brain washing theme though. Too much of that going on in the world. Most of it is subliminal. Notice, that Canadians don't have a "pledge of alligiance". Doesn't necessarily make us better, just different. I don't think your pledge is brainwashing though - it is a sign of loyalty to the nation. I also agree with the comments about religious factions wanting religion back in schools. I've seen how Christians, notably the Salvation Army church, teach the children that anyone who does not believe in God or is gay, bi, les, whatever is wrong and those people will burn in hell. Poor kids! They are also taught that anyone who likes to dance or listens to R&R music is a heathen. That must be tough crap to grow up with. I think basic religion should be taught in elementary school but it should teach the variety of religions available, not just one. Just like kids are taught about diffferent countries, etc. leaving it to high school or college is too long. Little kids ask questions that need answers and truthful answers.
