I don't think Canada has lower standards. Don't misunderstand me, we love to mingle with the average American person, but we also view America as a nightmare rather than a dream.
We do protect the rights of all citizens, and not select some for discrimination because they don't fit our moral codes. I don't support homosexuality, but I will defend their right to be such in a free society.
I chose Canada and I suspect I will die here as a Canadian citizen by choice. I enjoyed most of my days in the USA, but would never want to live there. When I holiday, it is not the sites that attract me, but the people. I love to meet people, and I always enjoyed meeting the people in the US of A. Lovely people. Governments do not always reflect the hearts of the people. They have a country to run and global responsibility as a nation within a world of nations.
We have a twice-born Prime Minister, but he has a multifaceted country to govern, and sometimes this means passing over his strict Christian beliefs. Not denying them, but overstepping them to protect and serve all citizens with equal rights.
Cheers,
Jim
