How do we feel about Canada?

I've spent a lot of time in Canada. I like it a lot. I haven't noticed less freedom. Aside from there being no 2a, there is still no shortage of guns nor lack of availability.

Canada ranked 15th on the corruption perception index last year compared to US rank 28th, so theres that.

I am not a fan of Tim Hortons. There's a shit-ton of Mennonites all cooking delicious foods, and an outrageous fuckload of east Indians also cooking extremely delicious food, and I am a fan of both of them.

Personally, extended edition America, with less freedom, more stupid politicians, and a great vast wilderness that I want to explore more. Most of the people I've met are super friendly too.

It's worse than America, marginally better than Europe and significantly better than China, Russia, North Korea, etc. despite arguably being on the same trajectory. The benefit is that they haven't really been sliding towards authoritarianism until relatively recently as I understand it.

That said, their culture seems fine enough and we could learn a thing or two from their niceness.
