Do you say that because we're a bad example, a bad apple that comes from the same tree? An English country just like your own going down the socialist path and not turning into a land of gulags and starvation?
Mexico and Islam and China are foreign but Canada is similar enough for our socialist ways to insinuate themselves into your culture.
I should say that I have "met" a few canadians here at FR who I think would be an exception to the rule I have found in my pesonal dealings of Canadians being SOBs. I should also point out that my dealings have by and large been with Montrealers, and not those from the western provinces. It seems to me that Montreal is the closest thing today to Sodom and Gomorrah.
I read a good article on Canada the other day. I'll try to find it and link it.
