Believing you're inherently above certain things is a pretty good
indication that you are in fact not.

that only about 41% to 44% of Canadians view King Charles III with any degree of favor, putting him well behind the high approval ratings historically enjoyed by his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, and behind other members of the royal family like Prince William. YMMV.
Why?
Widespread indifference: Surveys indicate that a massive majority of Canadians feel completely indifferent or just not invested when it comes
to the King and royal visits and politics in general.
In politics Canadians are generally neither indifferent nor uninterested
in politics, but engagement often looks quiet. Voter turnout usually
sits between 60% and 70%, and many people follow national issues closely without joining loud public protests.

I don't think Canada is perfect. At all! I would prefer it if our form of government was more like the Skandinavian countries. Americans, from what I can hear think that their country is the GREATEST IN THE WORLD! We hear that constantly coming from down there. I admit, I would totally and without doubt rather be a Canadian than an American and even more so now than ever before. You don't like that? No we aren't 'above' anyone but we are different than you. And I like it that we are. Is that ok. I talk about Canada here because I
think most Americans know nothing about us and if they think of hear of us at all, it's usually wrong.
Little bitty group of Americans here but I think a few of you know that Canada
exists now. Just doing my little bit.

I admit to being somewhat triggered by that G&M comment about needing a "significant drop in education" to elect a populist ;-)
