I suppose that some of it is simply cultural. Blacks in Canada have had
better ways since "The Empire" outlawed slavery and as a result, one of
Toronto's first psychians was a negro, and the "underground railroad"
filled
Detroit with blacks heading up to Canada who didn't make it out and
decided
to stay. Toronto's black doctor spent a lot of time and money to get
those
people up here, as it seems.
And, if you haven't noticed, American blacks decended from 200 years ago
in
Canada aren't much like their black cousins decended from the same. It's
what happens when things go right and a society next door is different.
Sure, we have the violent, gun toting Jamacians, but they're not the same.
