A lot of American spirit of tolerance and multinationalism has rubbed off on Canada.
Thats an interesting observation. We always thought of it as the other way around. May I ask, how long you have been resident in North America?
It will dismay you to no end, I'm sure, that Canadians have a high esteem for Aussies and feel we share very similar values. It must be the British roots in both of us.
If I recall, I believe you are an immigrant to the US? It therefore particularly surprises me that you appear to have such fixed ideas and intolerance towards others . Perhaps I'm misreading.

ROFL, I can just imagine Canucks spewing coffee all over their Tim Horton's donuts upon reading that!

I suggest that a signicant measure of this tolerance, on both sides of our common border, rubbed off from these people. I'm proud to count them among my ancestors...
