Electing Courses
The new semester has commenced and after nearly a month of vacation (save for assignments) the common theme in the class is trouble getting geared back up.
In addition to the regular core courses- Strategic Management, Corporate Finance, Operations, and International Business- we are all going our separate ways for electives. I have signed up for Strategic marketing, Negotiations, Entrepreneurship and project management (I think I said this already in previous posts).
The courses have now started and they are interesting, stimulating and genuinely enjoyable.
Something that's boring me right now is the election. *yawn*. As if not electing those crooked lying thieving cheating Grits is going to change anything drastic. Replacing them with the crooked lying thieving cheating Tories is a solution? Replacing one element with another element that the same except for one key difference; ethical and moral bankruptcy (referring to Tories) is not a operational solution! But I guess that's just my own personal view- and the administration is elected based on common wants and priorities, showing once again that ethics and morality is not a priority that the masses choose.
I can't really complain that much- after all; I didn't opt for the elective course this semester titled Business Ethics.

I don't think it's as bad as your message conveys you think it is, but it's my conjecture that you don't really think it's that bad either. Canadians didn't vote for an American government- they voted for a more right of centre Canadian Government. While it may smack of Republicanism to some- there are still disparate values that make the US very different from Canada.
Also- what's wrong with being a good neighbor the most powerful and free nation on earth? The war of 1812 is over! Move on! :P
Katie- your view is not atypical. It's so common, in fact it's adressed in some travel journals.
It's the Canadian US inferiority complex. To be fair- the Irish have the same complex vis a the UK, New Zealand vis a Australia, and Austria vis a Germany. I'm certain anywhere you have two close neighbors- one bigger, more powerful or at least more salient than the other- the inferiority complex forms. Humans by nature are somewhat cabalistic or cliquish. Rivalries are a truism, even among nations with the strongest bonds.
