My question (which may spawn another thread), is.. Is this all because of an inherant distrust of the authority of the government ?

Well, I can't speak about to Canadians, but to the south we had to fight to get our independence from the Crown.
After that, we had a Civil war less than 100 years later which didn't help.
Perhaps the flip question would be fair, why do you trust your government so much?
