Sorry, its just that I see Canada trotted out all the time, and I just believe that freedom means more to people here.
PC has gone way farther in Canada than it ever would here, because the Canadian people and their government confuse politeness with what is required by law. We have a long tradition here of being able to risk offending others with your political expressions, while realizing that differing political opinions are what strenghthen us, not what makes us weaker.
