I am European and I know my culture..I will be careful to answer your question without abusing this forum for religious or political reasons.
Growing up "western style" is as different as it gets compared to maybe growing up the Muslim or Hindu way. You are right, there are different values, in my eyes for freedom, more self responsibilities. As to teenage rebellion, it exists anywhere. I am currently lecturing at a large university in New Zealand, 50% of students are Indian and I tell you, they enjoy their freedom..!
If you go to Canada, then why not live the Canadian way? Your kids certainly will whether you like it or not. Their friends and companions will do the same. They will still love you as a dad, because you let them be what they are, they still love you because you love them.
Again, this is my opinion only and should be taken as that. No politcal or religious agenda behind.
Correct, I will describe more at length shortly.
