Curious mind wants to know.  For non Canadian citizens/residents of course ;)

Would you say your opinion of Canada has changed over the last 3-4 years?
If so, why?

There's no Jaron option here, I'd like this to be as serious as we can be on Languish, please :)

Stephen Harper has pleased me the few times Canada has had something to say internationally so it has gone up.  The Liberals used to say the most retarded bullshit.

I have no particular opinion about Canada, so: no.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Ditto.

Canada? That's that place I'll end up if I just keep driving north, correct?

My opinion of Canada had already reached Maximum Favorability more than 3 years ago, so I will have to say it has stayed the same.   :)  :Canuck:

Well, not my fault if you guys are never in the international news. :P

I do get positive feedback from people who tarvel to your country, though, so it's benevolent ignorance. ;)

My trips to Canada have all been great - it is only Languish that drags down my generally super-positive opinion.

Harper hasn't had any effect. Canada still gets most of it's cudos from being in North America without being the United States.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

My opinion is generally favorable, which hasn't changed in the past few years.
