Why are things so peaceful in Canada?

Yes, we have violence here, and racism, and our bad apples, but generally speaking... we're not divided five ways to Sunday and up in arms at each other. We're not afraid of each other. Some of us even actually DO leave our doors unlocked.

But why? Our cultures are so similar, and mine, so undeniably Americanized, but what keeps us from killing each other so much? What are we apparently doing right? Is it the the gun control? Is it the culture? ... Is HAARP real?? What do YOU think, what gives?
