One big one is that we are a much more secular society, religion is there but not to the extent it is prevalent in the US.

Another could be the curriculum in our education system is geared globally, giving us a sense of the world and our part in it, we are a small country and need others to make it all work.

I would agree with HeyHey though, we are not a paragon of tolerance, we do have racism, intolerance but it is very much a minority. Our treatment of our First Nations is our shame, imo, and much is to be done there before we can hold our heads up.
