Similarly, I assume Canada is more civilized than the United States because 43.2% of the Canadian population is Catholic (and therefore disproportionately communitarian) whereas Gringolandia is only 22% Catholic and therefore "bought off" by the blandishments of "rugged individualism."

I believe that the upshot is this demographic difference is that Canada crosses a critical communitarian threshold and the United States doesn't.
