Do you have a source for that information? I don't think that it's too far fetched, but I would like to see some how accurate that kind of a study could be.

Just about any college (entry) level Comparative Political Science textbook will cover this one off - the existing patterns on the subject are remarkably durable.

Canadians are the least likely to vote according to their parents and are most likely to vote for different parties in sequential elections.

And I would think that such a correlation would be more due to sectionalism that hereditary, but I'm sure hereditary (and penultimately, upbringing) would play a role as well.

Sectionalism? I don't understand that term.

As for 'why' this is so, that is indeed a large and complext topic that touches upon a huge range of topics - not the least of which is the 'trust for authority' issue that Americans traditionally score very high on that scale while Canadians traditionally score very low on that same scale.
