Thats not what I meant.
Like I said, I know it was a tragedy, but I dont like how at times, its marketed to the public as a reason to boost patriotism.
And you're right, Im sure I would be talking different if Canada was attacked, but I mean, (not to attempt to start an argument) when Bush was making campaign speeches and whatnot, what did he mention the most? 9/11.
And I have no problem with showing pride in your country. I'm saying it in a way seems silly to take pride in your country over the fact you got attacked by terrorists.
When has any Canadian said something like:
"Damn I'm proud to be Canadain, thanks to SARS."
