As an American emigrant I was really surprised to learn that your largest Bible belt up here is directly next to Vancouver, there are some dramatic contrasts in this country.

Wait until you find out that our last Primer Minister, Stephen Harper, was a stunch evangelical and brought representatives of various evangelical churches and organizations on his trips to Israel.

https://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2015/09/14/Covert-Evangelism-Stephen-Harper/
Harper was the first Western leader to cut aid to the Palestinian Authority following Hamas’ 2006 seizure[sic] of power in Gaza and the first to withdraw from the second U.N. World Conference Against Racism, known as Durban II, saying the event would “scapegoat the Jewish people.”
Canada has sided openly with Israel in every one of its military operations since 2006. Harper’s Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu, calls him Stephen, and the two speak regularly.

This fucker made Canada do a complete 180 on the Palestinian question, and we never recovered. Trudeau continued his policies essentially unchanged up until this Monday's resolution (I, partially, blame Freelan).
Harper was the worst thing to happen to Canada at the worst time.
And that mf'er still has his claws into us.
He's been hanging out with Victor Orban recently, too.
That same bible belt stretches from Windsor to Cornwall in Ontario ... excluding the major cities, the rural areas don't feel any different than middle America. I have friends and relatives in Norfolk county, south of Hamilton, Ontario and their lives are not much removed from their American neighbours to the south.
