People only like Canada because of it's stereotypical culture. I have a friend who just can't fathom the idea of a rude person in Canada.

Or perhaps some people just like the idealistic culture that is omitted. Canada is rarely known to be involved in major politics and has a free government. It's a quiet place with little drama.
That being said, there are a few places like that, although there are always exceptions.

They have their fair amount of drama, and are not the idealistic culture everyone has built them up to be. They just don't make the news to often, and no one really cares what Canada is doing.

In comparison to the US, barely.
And of course they aren't, but they are a lot closer to it then most other countries.
