I guess that it’s so remote the community is so small that living out there requires trust and cooperation.

“Well what you got there son is a wild liberal on the loose. I don’t blame ya if you wanna try to shoot it, not at all. What we do round here is leave our cars unlocked in case that liberal gets too vicious. We can all hear your cries for help so don’t bother tryna steal anything cause we’ll know who done it. They call that trust and cooperation round here.”

“Now see here, sharing a resource for the safety and common good of the community’s inhabitants sounds like that there commusocialisms that Tucker told me was the devil in between cash for gold ads and bemoaning the loss of the Snickers dick vein! What if onna them gays or a brown person needs to escape from a polar bear? No siree, no thank you. We ain’t doin that. I’d rather be eviscerated, you know, to own the libs!”

Yea this is more believable over the prior one. Republicans in the states would be more likely to lock you out of the car to distract the bear from themselves than let you in to save both of you.

This is pretty standard in rural Alaska as well it's not just a Canadian thing. When the weather can kill you and you know most of the people around you people in general are very willing to help.
