in canada hockey is the national sport and the greatest hockey player of all time is wayne gretzky. Gretzky was and is a hockey "purist' of unimpeachable charactor. A true gentleman but still a great athlete. In america the national sport (passtime) is baseball and it is dominated by a drug crazed african american who cheated to break homerun records, lied to the courts, and will ultimately go to jail. Will american society strip him of his baseball records? No !!!!
Yes the main difference between canada and america is that canadians live by the rules, they "play" fair, they don't cheat.
There was a saying during wwii that aptly described americans, brits and canadians. It went like this:
americans walk down the high street and act like they own it. Brits walk down the high street and they do own it. Canadians walk down the high street and they don't give a damn who owns it !!!
