In Canada, Baptists make up only 2.5% of all Christians.

I think that it has something to do with the difference in religious expression between the US and Canada - or how public or private each nation views a persons religion. My neighbour growing up was a Baptist Minister and his famliy from Florida, and he felt the fundamental difference was the acceptance of evangelism, a difference that meant that people became offended if you approached them about their faith.
