For starters, Canadians tend to be a lot more polite than Americans - in fact that's one of the things Yankees like to make fun of Canucks for a lot. But politeness is mostly fake, for appearance only. Even stereotypically polite societies like Japan suffer from massacres/violence. I do believe that the increasingly intense societal pressures in the US are contributing to violence. Also, people might be less likely to run amok if the economy was better.
