Yes, my experience is that the general reply of most canadians, when Canadian society/government is questioned is;..why don't you go live there or you American's are ignorant....In fact, ignorance is bliss, isn't it. Signed: An Informed Canadian
Seems to me you can have the same experience with the US . Usually followed by a reference to a door hitting you on the ass .
As a politically active conservative Canadian, it has never "baffled" me why our country mostly votes Liberal. It has disgusted me, but never "baffled" me. Most analysis above is correct - Canada is the bastion of corrupt elitists that buy the electorate with their own money. If this doesn't snap everyone out of their collective psychosis, nothing will.
