    Because you have always been loyal to the crown.
    "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work...After eight years of this Administration, we have just as much unemployment as when we started... And an enormous debt to boot!" — Henry Morgenthau, Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Treasury secretary, 1941.

    Maybe it's because less Canadians live in third world conditions. Or does civilization eliminate third world conditions?

    Canadians are too busy keeping their testicles from freezing to do more than vent at Quebec. Rap music is scientifically proven to cause one's testicles to fall off, so less rap music is a key factor.

    Anne Murray's (presumably) positive influence and calming effect is exactly counterbalanced by Celine Dion whose songs inspire murderous rage.

    Given the strong societal response to the musical choice, I have to suspect the rap per capita being a dominant variable.

    He's repping Canada hard in probably the whitest rap video ever, though. It's about Canada being great so therefore, you must like it!

    It's not gun control laws alone.

    Consider Mexico:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_Mexico

    Mexico has strict gun laws. Mexican citizens may purchase arms for self-protection or hunting only after receiving approval of a petition to the Defense Ministry, which performs extensive background checks. The allowed weapons are restricted to relatively low-caliber and must be purchased from the Defense Ministry only.

    Of course Canada is great. Best country on the planet.

    I don't need rappers to state the obvious.

    Mexico is very corrupt and effectively controlled by drug cartels. There's a reason no one uses them as an example of gun control.

    It's because Don Cherry has decided, as a true patroit, to take upon all the crazy of Canada upon himself. A nation idiot.

    So I guess hockey.

    Can't be hockey. Finns play hockey and they are violent mutants.

    No, obviously the large Yeti contribution to the Canadian gene pool has made the Canadians into lumbering, friendly giants. It's also made them a bit slow, eh

    I was a big fan of Canada until I figured out that it spawned Celine Dion.

    Celine Dion didn't spawn. She hatched.

    Celine Dion is not from Canada; she is from Quebec.

    "The fact that we direct our anger at Quebec" has to be the default correct answer.
