I forgot to mention that Canada is much more stoic about war deaths.
Are they are more staunchly conservative than we are?
“Are they are more staunchly conservative than we are?”
No, they are in fact even more weak-kneed leftist than you guys. Did you know that Canada originally joined Afghanistan out of “UN peacekeeping” values rather than “kill the terrorists!” mantra? Of course many of their conservatives do believe in the latter, it is not believed by middle Canadians.
