An armed society is a polite society.
If one compares Canada and the USA, which have a number of cultural similarities, one might be left questioning the evidence behind that assertion.

The fact of the matter is that Canada and the US are becoming vastly different countries in terms of shared political and social values. We have certainly never had the gun culture of the US as a part of our national identity. Likewise, our definition of liberty is quite different from that of the USA. Liberty to us is a single payer universal health care system and good governance, not the individual right to bear arms and the pursuit of happiness.
There is really no point of bringing Canada or the manners of its citizenry into this infernal debate over firearms that preoccupies Americans.

Some freedoms just seem extreme to those who don't enjoy them
Killing babies for example

I’m glad Canada has some bragging rights.

Obviously, when I spoke of the inherent politeness of Canadian citizens, I wasn't referring to you and I

Indeed. Now repeat after me..... Canadians are godless murderers of infants.
Someone, someday just might listen and nod their head out of politeness.

Look at the bright side...If the U.S. was Russia, with that long common border with Canada, your Russian would come in very handy.
