That is simply wrong. More diversity north of the border? You may try and argue that race relations are more harmonious, but Canada is not as diverse as the US. White make up 69% of the US population where whites make up 90% of the Canadian population. As far as the Anglos and the French: they are the same race and they don't get along. You do not see inner racial problems (problems between people of the same race) like this is America. True, we have a common language but in Swizerland four different language groups of caucasians seem to get along fine.
The reform party in Canada is an openly racist party, and it does rather well in national elections. Is there such a counterpart in the U.S?
We have many mayors, congressman etc. of racial minorities. Where else does that exist. Brazil is the only other large country that I can think of that is more diverse than the US. However, even though Mulattos and Black make up more the fifty percent of the population, it is hard to find any blacks in the upper income brackets, and they certainly don't get elected very much.
