I've had similar experiences with Canadians quite often, of course it's not meant to be a broad stroke but it does feel like there's some heavy anti-american and far left ideologies being taught in Canada as propraganda (not just as left indoctrination but to hate the USA).The cultures differences seem quite large. I personally have a lot of experience with New Brunswick and Newfoundland. Regions like that would be very red in America but in Canada they go far left blue. A close friend has a child in the Miramichi highschool system and it sounds like the entire grade is transgender / gender swapping and they are having multiple high school age suicides per year which seems very odd for such a small blue collar town. It would be unheard of I think outside of urban areas here in the states.

In those areas I've encountered people quite often who will state they feel Capitalism is a horrible thing and Communism is far better, weird arguments like that verbatim. A huge portion of the Canadian population has severe TDS as well. I'm not exaggerating either about the communism ideology, It's common beliefs in those areas somehow, and it's not just young people, age 30s and 40s, boomers even military families there. It also seems to be suffering from a single mother epidemic, and they pull in around 25k+ a year up to child age 18 from the benefits as far as I can tell.
