My politics may not go hand in hand with a lot of Canadians, but at least your leaders seem to be knowledgeable and well read. I think this stems from a Parliamentary form of government that makes you confront other ideas and defend your own with intelligent vigor.
*Well, outside of Quebec they are more thoughtful, but thats a given. Quebecers are inbred jackasses with severe penis envy.
