Canadian media treat the word "Canadian" as an honorific and optimize for the number of times they can use it. It has been that way for as long as I can remember.

We changed the title to use a representative phrase from the article, and added the year.

With respect - you are both being overly general about Canadian media, and showing an American bias. The Star is not representative of all Canadian media, and there are many American publications that trumpet American exceptionalism at every opportunity.

I should hope it shows Canadian bias since that's where most of my experience has been! I mean it affectionately and with no implied comparison.

I know it's dodgy to post occasional personal comments with a moderator account, but it's also dodgy if the moderators aren't community members too. And we were community members long before we became moderators. So I make a point of doing it sometimes.
