    The true stereotype isn’t that Canadians are overly nice. The true stereotype is that Americans are overly hateful.

      Canada is what America could be if it valued the health and well being of its citizens. Not that we are doing much better but if America is at a 1 and Denmark is at a 10, Canada is at least in the 6-7 range

      Edit - government debt to GDP is very telling for all countries btw. Canada is at 70% since the pandemic which is high compared to before the pandemic when we were in the high 50% range. In comparison America is 124%.

      So Canada is getting far more for less money. The robber barons really have a hold down there.
