Never been there myself but I always thought things were pretty tense under the surface. I'm making that statement based on nothing more than snippets and passages I've read through the years.

Well... I've always figured Canada had the same 'tension' under the surface. Both countries have aboriginal/native populations that got screwed over (Oka was 'tense'), both have predominantly white-Christian heritage/backgrounds, both have experienced massive immigration over the same time-periods. I suppose that's why.
