1:13:02
Ever hear of anyone being shot
by a gun in Windsor?

1:13:05
- No. No.
1:13:07
- You remember any murders here?
1:13:09
- Uh, there was one
a long time ago. Probably--

1:13:13
- How long ago?
- Oh...

1:13:16
- In your lifetime?
- In my lifetime,

1:13:18
probably around 15, 20 years
ago, there was one murder.

1:13:22
- In fact, this Windsor
policeman told me

1:13:24
that the only gun murder
1:13:25
he could recall in Windsor
in the last three years

1:13:28
was committed by a guy
from Detroit,

1:13:30
who had a stolen gun
from Minnesota.

1:13:33
With nearly 400,000 people
in the Windsor area,

1:13:37
there were simply no Canadians
shooting other Canadians.

1:13:41
I thought it might be time
1:13:43
for some fun facts
about Canada.

1:13:47
I hit the streets of New York
to find out what

1:13:49
the average American thought
about our friendly neighbour

1:13:52
to the north.
1:13:53
- Canadians don't watch as much
violent movies as Americans do.

1:14:03
- That's wrong.
1:14:05
Hordes of young boys,
all throughout Canada,

1:14:07
eagerly await the next
Hollywood bloodbath.

1:14:10
- Then one of the guy gets
his leg taken off.

1:14:12
- Oh, wow!
- And there was a lot of girls,

1:14:15
and naked at one point.
- I like that stuff.

1:14:19
- What movie did you see tonight?
- Sixth Day.

1:14:22
- With Arnold Schwarzenegger?
- Yeah.

1:14:25
- Did it make you want
to come out here

1:14:27
and play this shoot-'em-up game?
1:14:29
- Well... yeah.
1:14:31
- There's no poverty in Canada
like there is here...

1:14:34
in the States.
1:14:36
- Wrong again.
1:14:38
Mayor Mike Bradley
Sarnia, Ontario, Canada

1:14:40
- Actually, we've also had
a much higher unemployment rate.

1:14:42
When Michigan rate was running at 4%,
we were still at 8-9%,

1:14:44
We seem to have an institutional
unemployment rate.

1:14:46
- I think there'd mostly be
white people in Canada.

1:14:49
- Hmm... that's strange,
'cause when I'm in Canada,

1:14:52
I see black people everywhere.
1:14:54
And yellow people,
and brown people...

1:14:56
and 13% of the country is
non-white.

1:14:58
So the Canadians are
