The demographics of these to areas are so vastly different, you can barely compare. Canadian "rednecks" are very different from American ones in general. And the non-white populations are also very different, where in Western Canada you mostly have Asians and South Asians, in states like Texas it's mostly hispanics and african americans.
Taking Alberta and Texas as two main examples.
