Having spent far too long living there, I posit that as a country, Canada is the epitome of the current thing.
Beware the Spirit of the Age. It can possess you.
Not long ago - 50 to 60 years - much of Canada wasn't that different from rural America. Country music, guns, trucks, etc.
Things change fast. Especially with TV and rapid population replacement.
Combining Francis Berger's and Mr. Andrew's comments and knowing the rough area where Francis Berger spent too long living, I have a neat explanation of why much of rural Canada was repelled by the metropole of Toronto (including its suburban penumbra).
People like to criticize Canada, and a lot of that is valid, but can anyone honestly say that things are much different in other Western nations? Which Western nation would have poll results significantly different from these?
And we do still have rural areas here, even if our evil overlords are actively, with specific, explicitly targetted programs, trying to destroy them with diversity.

I agree. Many of the commenters have focused on the Canada angle, but I posted it on the assumption that something similar would be true in most countries.
