You don't even need to venture out of FR to witness this phenomenon. I have counted Canadian trolls, status-quo-Canada defenders, moderates-by-American-standards Canadian "conservatives" here. And they seem to represent a majority of Canadian FRers who come from the east of Manitoba.
And one American apologist of status-quo-Canada (I wouldn't name him here, but those of you around long enough will know who I am talking about) on this board is a medical doctor who spent time interning in a Toronto hospital. Perhaps this is not a surprise to us? ;-)
When I was critical of the conservative party for not being conservative enough, acting like a conservative party I was flamed by those Canadians.
