As an American this is depressing, Canada was always me mental escape hatch. “Well I’ll just move to Canada if shit gets to bad here”

Which I know is hella reductive and not nearly as simple as it sounds, but who needs logic

Outside of gun control and health care, Canada is USA minus a few years. The same stupid cultural shit happens here too just a bit later

Moved from the USA over 25 years ago. Never moving back, though I visit. I sum it up like this: “Canada: better than the States—and no better than that.”

We sadly keep using the wrong yardstick. Or metre. I do like that we have metric.
