I think Americans (the culture as a whole, not necessarily the individuals here) is much more a product of propaganda than Canadians. There are, for example, no Canadians I know of who will watch Fox news, and find it necessary to believe the bullshit of the day (Obama is the antichrist, burning oil has no impact on the environment, etc.). Americans are much more of the old Roman blues and greens-- once they've identified with a wing, they will fight to the death to support it, even in the face of contradictory evidence or basic common sense.
Yes, there are right-wing and left-wing people in Canada. But they make their choices based on personal inclinations (from age, wealth, etc.), not from the soundbite of the day.
