Bitchin about the American Dream, in a Canadian Flick!
I guess Canadians are free from greed, ambition and everyone there is almost equal. Don't they have their own issues?
shareThat's not true, we have all those things here in Canada as well, just they aren't proritized, there's a reason so many people wish to move to canada and for monetary gain is just a fraction of it.
It's pretty awesome living in Canada, we're free from most political drama, we are rarely involved in any dangerous terrorist threats.

Hey I liked the movie and have no nationalistic issues over it, but it does seem lame to act like stuff like that happens only in the bad old USA.
shareLol, maybe so, yes. But I mean stuff like that doesn't really feel too threatening to me, and I live in Canada, so maybe that just kind of makes it's way into canadian films.
I doubt it was done to be intentionally jabbing at USA.

America is the greatest country in the WORLD. I think most Canadians are renouncing their citizenship.
That's a WAR CRY, mofo.
Presumably they included that because they wanted to sell the movie to the U.S. market.
And the whole movie premise ... the big money, wealthy fathers making money in trading or banking (or whatever they did), split society (haves and have nots) doesn't really work in a Canadian setting, either. I'm sure this stuff exists in Canada, to some degree, but it is simply not part of the Zeitgeist there in the same way that it is in the U.S.
