Roman Catholics make up approximately 66% of Canada's population (or 19 Million people), I guess we're very poor Catholics then, or there just aren't enough churches in Canada.

Some disturbing Canadian "facts"
- Canada is our only neighbor whom we do not watch like a hawk. The border between the two nations is not patrolled, and major crossover points are minimally guarded. The length of the US-Canadian border is three times that of the US-Mexico border.
- The majority of Canadians live within a few hours by car from the US border: less than an evening's trip if by tank.
- For years, Canadians have been flooding our currency exchange with their own currency which looks very similar to ours but is worth considerably less.
- Canadians battled with the US from the get-go during the French & Indian Wars, starting in 1755.
- In summer of 1997, Canadian fishermen blockaded US vessels for three days in protest for US fishermen catching "Canadian" salmon in US waters. The Canadians have a maritime boundary dispute with us as well.
- Ontario, in a shocking smack in the face of morality, recently declared it legal for women to walk around topless.
- Canada has no discernible cuisine or culinary specialty of its own.
- Canada has attempted to undermine the one US sport that they do not currently have a team, football, with their backwards "Canadian Football League".
- Canada has long had a history as a drug importation funnel to the United States.
- England peaceably split with Canada, and Canada still views the English monarchy as their head of state. The US has had several noted disputes with England and the English monarchy.
- Canada's unemployment rate was nearly twice that of the US's in 1996. The number of illegally employed Canadians in this country is unknown.
- Nearly 1/6th of Canada's GDP is the result of exporting to the US. Only 2% of the US GDP is the result of exports to Canada.
- During the Vietnam era, thousands of draft-dodgers escaped up to Canada, where they remain.
- The drinking age in Canada is 18, inspiring our teens to pour across the border, get loaded up, then crash into schoolbusses soon after crossing back.
- The magnetic north lives in Canada. Imagine if they decided to move it.
- There is something of an ethnic conflict in Canada between the French and English speakers. Similar conflicts worldwide erupt in horrible bloodshed.
- Hundreds of Canadian students pelted Ex-president Bush's vehicle with snowballs on Nov 19. 1997 on a trip to accept an honorary degree from the University of Toronto. Additionally, during the presentation of the degree, 30 faculty members left in protest.
- Canadians, when presented with the above evidence, usually scoff and declare Americans to be "paranoid", or "bigoted".

90% of your Catholics are the frenchy kind, and everybody knows they don't attend mass.
