As for the Canadian general public, i'm painting with a broad brush here, but this is based on general Canadian sentiment towards the administration and the U.S. in general. I'm sure many Canadian's are great friends to America, but it seems many are not.
A difference in opinions and values doesn't mean that the population isn't courageous.... afterall even the Bush administration would agree that "courage is doing the right thing even when others tell you it's wrong" - it's just that Canadians differ on what the "right thing" is/was.

For example for the most part (and in particular Quebec, those randy bastards ) have different views regarding sexuality than our American cousins - the fact that Studd's sexual relationship was consentual, and that both parties maintained this long after the fact, really diminishes the "moral outrage" factor... sure it was highly unprofessional, but for the most part Canadians (well many) echo former Primeminister Trudeau's belief that what happens in the bedroom is private (then again Trudeau's wife had an affair with Mick Jagger).

Anyways here's an old thread you might find amusing:
