Remember, the Nordic countries for the most part are more homogeneous than we are, so Canada really stands out as quite a different place, compared to Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland. It's probably easier to form a social consensus in a homogeneous society. There have been, for example, some riots and other events in parts of urban communities where there have been large immigrant populations. So they're not Utopian states, by any means, but they do have the ability, and it's something they've developed over probably the last 100 years, to build social consensus in the way that most other countries marvel at.
