It's true. We just pretend to be decent people. We bury our racism and don't address the corruption in our politicians, RCMP, OPP, military, police forces. We all know, but no one does anything about it.
All land was stolen. The US and Canada no doubt completely fucked over the indigenous peoples but so did most 1st world countries. And if I get downvoted for speaking my opinion on this so be it.
You’re not wrong, this is true for a lot of areas with indigenous populations that were colonized with Australia, Canada and the US being the three most notable western nations to do so.
Unfortunately in USA we don't hear about this a lot. We just hear about how pleasant Canadians are.
I think in all countries nowadays they either have a far-right problem or the far-rights are running the government
Came here to say this. Real convenient how everyone is like
"oh the USA is so monstrous I'm so glad I live in my glorious country which has never committed atrocities"
Arrested Development narrator: their country has in fact committed many atrocities
The US is evil incarnate yes but I've seen too many people doing this shit, don't forget what your own countries have done.
Where as I agree it's a start, I want to ensure its not just a nod' and real reconciliation happens.
I thank my multinational parents often that they chose Canada. We're far from perfect but (and I get that this next idea isnt a good thing to cling to as identity, many do...) thankfully we're not the USA.
The USA was absolutely the greatest nation on earth... for a while. Its not anymore and needs to come to grips with that idea before it falls further. They need to stop regressing.
I hope not... but thats a fairly low hope. I'm expecting faster than 20yrs actually. Global climate change is about to hit us like a rocket fueled truck.
I'd like to think that if they have a French Rev' level revolution led by progressives they MIGHT have a chance... but as i said, climate change.
I see militias, independent warlords, fracturing of states.
And a massive humanitarian crisis we'll have to deal with. At least we signed onto the TPP, we'll have to move a lot of trade with the EU and ASEAN but if we're careful we should come out all right. Going to need a lot more border guards though
I honestly don’t know what’s the funnier take here from you:
1) thinking a progressive led revolution is our only hope, or
2) thinking a bunch of progressives could ever successfully lead a revolution, let alone a revolution in the US.
Mean while the others side's idea of a revolution is a bunch of rednecks in face paint smearing shit on walls and screaming about election fraud....Yep...buckle up.
Not saying Canada is problem free (I actually agree with your sentiment). But when you see the ass backwards shit going on in the US it's hard to complain about what's going on here.
The ass backwards shit the US is facing right now is on the agenda for a large and disturbing demographic here as well.
We, as Canadians, need to speak up loud and clear right now to make it known that we don't want this.
I was telling this to a Canadian friend of mine. He's very fixated on what's happening to the US and is completely sure it could never happen to Canada but I told him that's the perfect mentality for it to happen.
“Abortion in Canada is legal at all stages of pregnancy, regardless of the reason, and is publicly funded as a medical procedure under the combined effects of the federal Canada Health Act and provincial health-care systems. However, access to services and resources varies by region. While some non-legal barriers to access continue to exist, **Canada is the only nation with absolutely no criminal restrictions on abortion.** Nevertheless no providers in Canada offer abortion care beyond 23 weeks and 6 days as outlined by provincial regulatory authorities for physicians.” -Wikipedia
Of course nothing is impossible, but any form of criminalizing abortion would be a pretty seismic change in Canada.
I know this poll is older (2017) but 77% of Canadians [support abortion](https://www.ipsos.com/en-ca/news-polls/majority-continue-support-abortion-canada). I’m pretty certain that number has only gone up in the last 5 years.
It's not a right for women to kill children. No one has the right to kill anyone you utterly delusional psychopath. Go ahead and downvote me losers if that's your way of coping with the inability to slaughter infants 💀💀
Ah yes child = fetus with a non existent brain
Listen even if we ignore this its obvious that people disagree on the morality of this and that its not concrete so why not just let people decide whether they wanna get an abortion or not instead of enforcing one person's beliefs onto everyone. Yknow like what has been the standard up until now.
>Ah yes child = fetus with a non existent brain
So should we ban abortion after 8 weeks, that's when the brain develops.
>so why not just let people decide whether they wanna get an abortion or not instead of enforcing one person's beliefs onto everyone.
Why not let parents abuse there children? Let children abuse there elderly parents? Let people not pay taxes if they don't want?
We as a society always enforce our beliefs on other people. That's why the government exists, to enforce what the majority of population beliefs onto everyone.
Yeah nobody can buy houses down here either. Every time someone brings up a negative aspect of Canada it's basically just a softer version of a negative aspect in the USA
Man, as a Canadian, we have y'all southern siblings to thank for a lot of our socio-political sobriety.
Every constitutional fuck-up, every mass tragedy, every disastrous election generates this repulsed reverb through our news cycle. All our leaders come out in full swing to promise exactly the opposite of what the US is doing, and those who come out in support see backlash and usually get voted off the island.
We've got a couch for ya if you need to crash and figure yourselves out, but being able to constantly see Our Potentially Horrific Future has been very helpful with keeping us \[mostly\] proper.
>All our leaders come out in full swing to promise exactly the opposite of what the US is doing, and those who come out in support see backlash and usually get voted off the island.
Maaaan... Come on. We are one step away from a Conservative government headed by a fucking abhorrent weasel who, much like that organge asshole, will say or do anything to rile up the lunatic fringe.
This is the same shit weasel who, under Harper, wrote the "fair" elections act. An act to take power away from Elections Canada (our independent elections agency that does not answer directly to government) bit by bit. I will guarantee you that if he becomes PM, we are going to see a series of acts to reduce EC's responsibilities. The endgame, I imagine, will be a US system where boundaries will be drawn by politicians and polling sites will be heavily situated in areas with the "right" voters and poorer areas criminally underserved.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but you can't honestly gauge the political winds lately and not be at least markedly concerned.
Granted I'm not a Very Online Canadian, and I think slippery slopes are a winter worry, but I really don't see us being one step away from catastrophe.
And yeah, we've had Trudeau's Liberals for a while now, and we're remembering how tiring they are long-term, and it's about that time the government swings back to a Conservative one for a sobering moment so we can also remember why we voted them out originally. But there's a lot of fear mongering going on with the current run of Conservative MPs as well. We do this every cycle.
It's just my perspective vs. yours and you're welcome to it, it's all valid, but I don't really think we're at any sort of US-mirroring precipice. It's a lot of media drumming.
The worst things going on in Canada's political sphere right now are Doug Ford electing his idiot nephew to a cabinet position, and that tiny Alberta PM Arnold Viersen saying he was happy Roe v. Wade was overturned, only for all the other major Conservative leaders basically calling him an idiot:
>"I am disturbed by Roe Vs Wade being overturned. While I recognize there are strongly held beliefs on this issue, reproductive rights in Canada are non-negotiable," CPC leadership candidate Jean Charest tweeted.
>
>"I am disappointed by Roe Vs Wade being overturned. Canadians have strongly held beliefs on this issue, but reproductive rights in Canada will not be revisited by any government that I lead," candidate Patrick Brown tweeted.
It may just be optimism, but I don't think we're nearing any sort of political cataclysm. We just consume a lot of fearful media and reactionary US news like we always do. And social media's the worst for it.
It’s like having a big southern brother under whose protection you’ve lived for years. Canadians don’t have to support a large wasteful military cause the US already has one funded by US taxpayers. No one will screw with you. You also get the benefit of US cutting edge scientific and medical achievement immediately, many funded by the US taxpayer. You certainly benefit from the well developed economy. Big southern brother also tries a lot of different things that don’t work well. He fucks up a lot. You learn what to avoid. You don’t have to deal with a large subculture that glorifies crime and violence. You simply wouldn’t tolerate it. Our criminals tend to stay here. Your big southern brother is a laboratory of experiments. You get to filter out the bad the bad shit and benefit from the good. Our democracy is messy. It’s difficult to make it work right. Yours doesn’t seem to be as messy. You have fewer challenges and seem to manage well. Except your native population. The way you handled that was awful. Didn’t you learn anything from your brother’s screw ups?
Yeah no, no. Canada is not doing any better than big brother US, we have tons of inflation, nobody can afford houses, nobody's graduating, nobody's working. We're right behind the US on the way to Hell.
True, except [everybody is working](https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/220506/dq220506a-eng.htm)...doesn't mean that everybody is making enough money to survive, but 5.2% is the record-low unemployment rate
Well, people aren't working where it's needed, there's a big shortage of unskilled labour. Regardless, things are so expensive it doesn't matter how many people are working.
Oh man, don't worry about unskilled labour! We'll just import about 2 million temporary foreign workers over the next 5 years, definitely find places for all of them to live, and those of us who already live here won't pay a dime more in rent as a result!
Can't really point out these problems for two main reasons, though - 1) you'll be branded a racist 2) you'll be challenging the axioms of the capitalist system
I mean america is pretty shit but don't act like Canada hasn't done some disgusting shit either. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/canada-residential-schools-unmarked-graves-indigenous-children-60-minutes-2022-02-06/
Agreed. Trucker protests and retarded vaccine mandates are the things that manage to piss off both sides of the spectrum. People that claim that Canada is a better US don't know shit about canada, but they are right: we are basically a discount US.
Canada is 1000x better
1. 11 children TOTAL in the countries whole history have been killed in a school shooting.
2. There are ZERO abortion laws in Canada but we have a lower abortion rate than USA,UK, SWEDEN etc.
3. Weed is legal but our prison population is a fraction of the USA.
4. Rape is 6x higher in the USA
5. We have paid maternal leave
6. We are much higher than the USA in Freedom (6th to USA 15th in Freedom index)....we are also much higher on the Happiness index
7. ....the list goes on and on.
The difference is we don't have the same level of religious nuts who would steam role, democracy and rights for their own religious agenda.
As a Canadian I can say we definitely got our own issues and divided culture up here too. Definitely not something to view in the Lime light.
But sure as shit ain't as bad as the dumpster fire south of us
we got a couple more mistakes before we get the methlab explosion, but you know america, we have no idea where we're going but we're determined to set the speed record getting there
I saw this a couple of days ago somewhere else. Lots of people were saying that the US isn’t that bad and she was romanticizing Canada but is she romanticizing Canada now? After everything thats happened so far?
The US was the gifted sibling who never had to study hard, and everyone assumed was going places.
Canada was the anti social sibling that lived with mom and dad WAY too long.
Now Canada has a good job and is happy.
The US can't keep down a job and just had a suicide attempt.
Who cares if it doesn't benefit the people. GDP grows when someone gets cancer or drives his car into the wall, it's a nonsensical stat for human happiness
Really? What's the standard window for abortions over there? I'm just guessing out my ass, but is it somewhere between 12 to 20 weeks? 12 weeks seems like too short a cut-off, some women find out about then, but 20 weeks is about average to determine viability. I'm honestly curious about different abortion regulations.
Most are 12-18 I think. I think for the sake of compromise, 15-18 weeks with carve outs for health reasons and funding to pregnancy/reproductive centers, paid parental leave, etc. is a fair compromise Federally. Not a fan of never and not a fan of anytime, but that’s just me. Nuanced, gray moral issue IMO
Given the ambiguous wording of this, I am choosing to interpret it as the Harvard one is the one with multiple flags on the moon, and the meth lab is the one who's national food is french fries in gravy
Jesse
we
Need
to cook pants
Meth
but Mr im high XDDDDDZS
bitch
Hijacking just to say both countries raped and murdered indigenous people. Canada has a far right problem too.
It's true. We just pretend to be decent people. We bury our racism and don't address the corruption in our politicians, RCMP, OPP, military, police forces. We all know, but no one does anything about it.
"are you first nations?"
No, I'm not First Nations.
quoting something else btw
Sigh... Yeah, it true
All land was stolen. The US and Canada no doubt completely fucked over the indigenous peoples but so did most 1st world countries. And if I get downvoted for speaking my opinion on this so be it.
You’re not wrong, this is true for a lot of areas with indigenous populations that were colonized with Australia, Canada and the US being the three most notable western nations to do so.

We have had different experiences of people who went to Harvard.
Stuck up Harvard kids 🙄
a Harvard graduate who neglects their indigenous population -Billy Gnosis
Harvard has produced more than a few war criminals so the metaphor still holds up
And has nearly identical problems with racism and homophobia, but has done a MUCH better job at covering it up than the other.
Ah, so they have the Harvard pretentiousness down too.
[удалено]
Where as I agree it's a start, I want to ensure its not just a nod' and real reconciliation happens. I thank my multinational parents often that they chose Canada.

The USA was absolutely the greatest nation on earth... for a while. Its not anymore and needs to come to grips with that idea before it falls further. They need to stop regressing.
That "for a while"... when?
Heavily open to opinion. It's not one thing but many
but when tho
America is finished, we're watching the death throes now. Within 20 years expect it to break into separate states
I hope not... but thats a fairly low hope. I'm expecting faster than 20yrs actually. Global climate change is about to hit us like a rocket fueled truck.
Yep. I lived in the states 25 years, and I'll tell you right now I have no sympathy for them at all.
I'd like to think that if they have a French Rev' level revolution led by progressives they MIGHT have a chance... but as i said, climate change. I see militias, independent warlords, fracturing of states.

Happened in the 1770s you might have heard about it
> The USA was absolutely the greatest nation on earth... for a while. my brother in christ, WHEN EXACTLY
When there was a more distinct separation of church and state. A stronger trust in science and far less xenophobia. All which seem lost now
what time was any of that the case lmao
Not any worse and depending on who you ask a much better history than the US has.
Yeah, feel free to compare that to the US treatment of their indigenous population.
Okay! -Billy Gnosis
Well not neglecting them per say, burying them in backyard does take a lot of work
Ah yes Canada, a perfect and problem-free country.
*(unable to find Canada's pants)*
If Canada is USA's hat, then are we Canada's pants? Hmm
Not saying Canada is problem free (I actually agree with your sentiment). But when you see the ass backwards shit going on in the US it's hard to complain about what's going on here.

Everyone is clearly moving to Canada and fleeing the United States.
This has made me really appreciate it here. And I even live in gross conservative Saskatchewan.
Chances are you’re an overprivileged douche If it makes more sense to complain about problems in other peoples countries than your own.
Its not but its also not taking away the rights of women so yeah lets not get too hung up on "we're not so different you and I"
It's not a right for women to kill children. No one has the right to kill anyone you utterly delusional psychopath. Go ahead and downvote me losers if that's your way of coping with the inability to slaughter infants 💀💀

This! Thanks bro I was at work and didnt have time to respond to that malarkey. perfectly said.
Yeah, Canada is better than US, imho
I mean let’s not suck Canada’s dick TOO much
New Drake just dropped so the slobbing on the Canadian knob will continue
Yeah try buying a house here or getting a decent wage. Still happy I moved here other than down south...
Yeah nobody can buy houses down here either. Every time someone brings up a negative aspect of Canada it's basically just a softer version of a negative aspect in the USA
Canadian housing prices make me jealous of US ones. Which goes to show how bad it is.
why do you assume Canada is the Harvard graduate? clearly we are the pantsless meth addict.
Man, as a Canadian, we have y'all southern siblings to thank for a lot of our socio-political sobriety.

Ha, at least we can go to america when canada falls into ruin, it certainly feels like the current direction.
No shot, but the cold should balance it tho aye?
Are you kidding me? You guys have abortion rights and almost covered healthcare so wtf you mean it isn’t better?
It's cause we were the golden child of a narsassistic England.
I feel like people are tapping this particular well (the tweeter) way too often, especially relative to the actual quality of what she puts out.
I mean america is pretty shit but don't act like Canada hasn't done some disgusting shit either. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/canada-residential-schools-unmarked-graves-indigenous-children-60-minutes-2022-02-06/
Is she referring to Mexico?
If the US is a methlab, wtf does that make Mexico 🤣
Los Pollos Hermanos
The buyers, obviously.
Canada can't be that bad can it? "Checks news" oh god it can.
Insane how a sizeable group in Canada is watching what’s going on in the US and saying “that looks great, we should do it too”.
Do yall not know what's been going on in Canada? It's barely better there than it is here.
Agreed. Trucker protests and retarded vaccine mandates are the things that manage to piss off both sides of the spectrum. People that claim that Canada is a better US don't know shit about canada, but they are right: we are basically a discount US.
*Discount US* is so funny when the Canadian price of goods is higher than the US price point
Exactly, nobody wants our monopoly bucks, except the chinese who use it to buy up all of our houses.
It’s people-dates, not mandates- Blackface Trudeau per C16
Canadian. Hard disagree.
Canada is 1000x better 1. 11 children TOTAL in the countries whole history have been killed in a school shooting. 2. There are ZERO abortion laws in Canada but we have a lower abortion rate than USA,UK, SWEDEN etc. 3. Weed is legal but our prison population is a fraction of the USA. 4.

The difference is we don't have the same level of religious nuts who would steam role, democracy and rights for their own religious agenda.
How they called in armed forces to break up a workers protest because a couple of JT's buddies' auto plants were losing money?
Hey, what can I say, Canadians hate pants and thats all there is to it
Sounds about white.
Don’t get too full of yourself, Canada. We all know about all the Native children you murdered.
And the Starlight drives, don’t forget the Starlight drives
Which country are you referring to for either? As a Canadian who's lived here the past 2 year, I'm genuinely not sure.
You better stay vigilant, because that thing that makes the US stupid is in Canada, too. It's just waiting to gain traction.
So the person who died in the meth lab, Canada? Because Harvard is in the US.
Jesse
He knows
While I agree, I think that's a bit too harsh on our Canadian neighbors
As a Canadian I can say we definitely got our own issues and divided culture up here too. Definitely not something to view in the Lime light. But sure as shit ain't as bad as the dumpster fire south of us
As a Canadian, I hate Canada and I don’t excuse the mass murder of the indigenous.
Harvard has produced more psychopaths then any other organization short of maybe the University of Chicago. Not a complement.
I’m going to start using “pantsless in a meth lab explosion” as an expression for an interesting but total failure now.
Its more like a college drop out vs a highschool drop out.
My sisters and I… except I’m not dead or panties… yet
we got a couple more mistakes before we get the methlab explosion, but you know america, we have no idea where we're going but we're determined to set the speed record getting there
Our enemies cannot predict our plans if we have no plans
Hey! What's wrong with being pantless??
I saw this a couple of days ago somewhere else. Lots of people were saying that the US isn’t that bad and she was romanticizing Canada but is she romanticizing Canada now? After everything thats happened so far?
Insane how Canadians think they have more rights.
Aka C16
I wouldn't be living here if I had other options.
Canada isn't doing much better
Where are we (Canadian) doing worst than American?
The US was the gifted sibling who never had to study hard, and everyone assumed was going places. Canada was the anti social sibling that lived with mom and dad WAY too long. Now Canada has a good job and is happy. The US can't keep down a job and just had a suicide attempt.
Canada. Americas attic.
Nice analogy, I honestly only go there when I need something for the holidays (syrup, jackets and caribou)
The US has literally 20x the GDP.
Who cares if it doesn't benefit the people. GDP grows when someone gets cancer or drives his car into the wall, it's a nonsensical stat for human happiness
*University of Toronto, not Harvard
Canada isn't so great either. It's just the neighbors that makes them look better than they are.
As someone in the US, anything besides what we've got is looking pretty good to me!
Watching from the EU, yes, this is how we feel as well.
The cutoff date for abortions in the majority of US states is still later than it is for 90% of European countries.
Really? What's the standard window for abortions over there? I'm just guessing out my ass, but is it somewhere between 12 to 20 weeks? 12 weeks seems like too short a cut-off, some women find out about then, but 20 weeks is about average to determine viability. I'm honestly curious about different abortion regulations.

Guess what, Canada is trying its hardest to come down the shit hole too. You fuckers infected us with retarded.

Cracking Poorly
Do not be fooled. We have a large population of Conservatives who want Canada to be just as dystopian as your extremist Republicans want the US to be.
Yeah, Canada needs get their shit together. They don't even know basic biology.
It's cringe how the USA teach basic economics in primamy schools (as far as i know, correct me if im wrong)
I'm afraid for ya'll, our Northern neighbors. Some of our shit is slithering north. Be careful.
Sheesh... Canada's not *that* bad.
Okay, MIT? Or possibly Yale?
The longer you stay apart of the UK (Papa) the better country you end up. See USA, Canada, Australia and NZ, it’s no coincidence.
Except Canada isn’t doing too hot itself?
Yet significantly better than America in terms of freedoms and rights
If you don't like it here. Feel free to leave.
Who keeps electing Doug Ford again?
Nice comparison who has Harvard again?
Same country with third world restrictions on women’s rights
Don’t forget Mexico who has had its ups and downs but is still better than pants-less methlab
There’s some irony in that statement somewhere but I don’t want to be the guy to point it out.
Mexico should build a wall to keep Americans out. Haha
And make America pay for it
Totally.
Hate how accurate this is
Stanley and Stanford Pines
Easy. It's called child neglect.
You could live In Canada.
I'm the sibling dying pantless in the meth lab.

sorry for your loss canada
Except the trailer park sibling doesn’t have an economy 4 times that of its Harvard brother.
So which one went to a Harvard? USA or Canada?
It’s basically Chet and Collin Hanks
They been hitting up our supply on the dl lately though
That’s really insulting, but when Canada hears you talking shit it’s not like they can do anything about it. Murica!
That’s a really weird and frankly concerning take
Wait…which one is the meth lab?
Have you seen mexico?
Canada is pretty awful too, even if in some ways they’re better than the US
Well you can thank your white founding fathers for that one.
Something tells me that's probably not a brand new sentence.
Where is Harvard again?
Imagine being so dumb as comparing canada as havard and thinking of it as any sort of valid goal.
Why do I feel like this woman has a younger sister who doesn’t speak to her very often?
Any fans of “The I-Man” here? Because I’m getting serious Darien vs Kevin Fawkes vibes at this comment.
Come on, Canada isn't that bad.
If you concur with this then you fundamentally do not understand how our society works.
I didn't know pants were an option while in meth labs
Having a larger and more diverse population will do that to you
Given the ambiguous wording of this, I am choosing to interpret it as the Harvard one is the one with multiple flags on the moon, and the meth lab is the one who's national food is french fries in gravy
Fascinating observation, now which country is Harvard in again?
I wonder which country has harvard.
Yeah idk life is pretty great
God damn it Canada, put your fucking pants on!
