17. Here in the US, there's a lot of religion in public life, as well.

Religious folks don't hide their faith, and nobody bothers them about it. There are half a dozen churches within three blocks of my house. A Hmong shaman lives two doors down the street, and hosts religious gatherings in his home. Nobody bothers him.

Our daily newspaper lists all of the religious events each week. There are several Islamic centers nearby, along with synagogues and other religious centers. We have several church-run colleges and universities, along with parochial schools and a couple of convents.

Its all free of controversy. There are no protests against any of that.

How is Canada better, Guy? Describe the differences. How are they more tolerant?
