It's the idea of escaping mediocrity, competition, and being the best.
But, as an American... I have been raised with this type of mentality. Being the "best" and not losing that status. Are we really the best? I don't know, in our opinion, yes.

You see this in other cultures as well. Japan, Russia, China, South Korea, etc.

Are Canadians raised with a similar mentality? The typical opinion of many Canadians seems to be "leave it alone, and we will be fine". If it works for them, then I guess that's fine...
