Wouldn't expect you or anyone else too.  My travels in Canada have been
relatively limited, mostly around the Great Lakes and for me the biggest
lasting impression of my last trip was going from Hamilton Ontario
to Buffalo NY.  Close geographically and similar in size but want to
guess which one was cleaner, neater, and just felt more civilized?

Bozeman strikes me that way too.  It is very clean, there is almost
no crime, people are, for lack of a better term, sensible, and lordy
are they polite.  Most Americans cannot imagine a place where cars
routinely stop on busy streets to allow pedestrians to cross.  There are
a lot fewer obese people here than in most of the US, just as I saw in
Canada.  And, they love their dogs here too :)  When I was hiking in
Canadian parks, every other person had a dog, same thing here.  Even
paradise has its faults.  Oh yeah, we have about the same population
density, actually, Montana's is probably a little less.  So, that is
why Bozeman strikes me as a little bit of Canada like life.
