Summary

This quote highlights the differing perspectives that Americans and Canadians have towards each other. It suggests that Americans tend to have little knowledge or interest in Canada, possibly due to a sense of superiority or indifference.

The quote implies a lopsided relationship where Americans are oblivious to Canada, while Canadians closely follow and scrutinize their southern neighbor.

Don't forget that we lawyers, we're a higher breed of intellect, and so it's our privilege to lie. It's as clear as day. Animals can't even imagine lying: if you were to find yourself among some wild islanders, they too would only speak the truth until they learned about European culture.
