Easy, there, Kevin, we are different from them. Notice that his first concern was "giving up weapons". When one is raised in a culture where weapons are one's first concern, every other civil attitude is bent to the right. Because we are from a different culture, we don't understand this devotion. Note the difference between their pledge to the flag, and our pledge to the Queen: theirs goes on and on, ours is just 2 words.

We have to live beside the US, and they have lobbyists here whose job it is to convert Canada into the US way of life, ie, get rid of universal health care, promote guns, stop welfare, all that stuff that doesn't conform to the American Ideal.

If this sound harsh, it isn't meant to be, it is just the conclusions I have come to after dealing with the Americans, individually and politically, for 50 years. It is just something to keep in mind...
