Because it disproves what he wishes to believe.
Two more culturally similar and economically developed countries can't be found, but anytime the statistics favour Canadian policies, that's due to some unknown and mysterious factor, but if they favour the USA, it's because the free-market/American/anti-government way is better.
To be fair, there's plenty of people that do the opposite, in that if it's an American value, it's automatically suspect and almost undoubtedly bad. Personally, I *try* to be unbiased, unless of course it's the Chinese, who can and should be demonized at all opportunities.
(For one, now that I think of it, illicit conception in China doesn't lose you benefits, it can land you in prison! See how evil they are! And I thought I was mostly kidding!)
