I just listened to an CBC interview with Canadian pollster Michael Adams (who's just received a prize for a book, Fire and Ice: The United States, Canada and the Myth of Converging Values, comparing Canadian and US values). According to him, the percentage of Americans endorsing the statement "the father of the family must be the master in his own house" remains very high and rose from 42 to 48% from 1992 to 2000. During the same period the percentage of Canadians doing the same fell from 26 to 18%.
There's a Globe and Mail article with the details at:
