Worse, but not by much. They have more bigots in raw numbers, thats for sure... but what makes Canada as bad (if not worse) is our holier than thou attitude that these things don't happen here at a comparable rate as the US (its kind of like that shooting thread a while back, its not an American thing, its a North American thing, and people need to accept that crap flows south and north). It wasn't long ago when parents here wouldn't let their kids have German friends... and I'm not talking 1940s and 1950s, I'm talking 1970s and 1980s here. Let alone the all too frequent "Kualalala... hmm... I'll just hire Smith instead." Especially prevalent in the oilpatch.
All I'm saying is bigotry, intolerance and prejudice doesn't stop at the 49th parallel... not even close.
