> You're talking about a country that elected Trump here. A move clearly demonstrating the willingness to take a risk. That kind of boldness is not a thing in Canada. > It's afraid of immigrants And is that unreasonable? Why? It's obvious immigration can do serious harm to the lower and middle classes. What's surprising is how open they are to immigration despite the risk. For example most of the western world enforces stricter skilled visa requirements. > "foreign" religions And again is that unreasonable? Why? Even so the US is incredibly accomodating - just look at the Amish for a good example of tolerance. > We incarcerate more of our citizens per capita than any other developed country. Because Americans are more willing to take risks. Good and bad. > and we hate anyone who is ugly, awkward, old, or otherwise socially disadvantaged. Who is we? I certainly don't think that's true. Maybe you could argue indifference? > I'm not a giant fan of American culture You seem to only see the negatives. Why is that?
