Well life in Canada is easier than the US. This is what I got from your post. I think I might move there if I get a good opportunity to lol
There is quite alot of advantages about Canada... you might feel it doesnt move fast enough lol.
We tends to be calmer than US citizen in my perspective. It all depends where you live too
Whereas here the Liberals in Government gun run to the Mexican cartels and then blame guns.
In Canada you are picking a point in time and trying to use that to define forever into the future.
I promise you, given the rate of blaming cis gendered white men for everything and the ridiculous immigration of non white non assimilating cultures, your citizens will wish they had the means to protect themselves too.
Oh I don't agree with most of their social policies and definitely things are relatively going bad. Politically, we need to revamp and our social programs need improvement... complete overhaul... but in Canada, we have the political power to do it. The Canadian Prime Minister is more powerful than the US President.... why? If the Canadian Prime Minister as 51% of the seats in Parliement... he can do whatever he wants... opposition can't stop him.
Once in a while, they backdown on certains stuff due to lobby, popular pressure, good job of the opposition... but tomorrow if the Canadian Prime Minister wanted to declare war... he can... if he want to cut HealthCare... he can etc...
Isn't the same in the USA ? You went from a ''local political system'' to more partisan than Canada system... Republicans and Democrats since Clinton have been 2 gangs fighting and tearing the country appart
In Canada, we do have immigration issues, integration, low birth, need more economical sector etc...However, the rules are the same for everyone in term of freedom and security and the damage as been limited...
Can you say the same down there America?
I am glad you going on the offensive Danger... it means there is validity in my writing.... You right nothing can guarante the future: not the past, not the present etc... However, we can say 1 thing... is that we don't have your US issues... Canadian poor are richer than USA poor (proven by statistic), we have low crime, low this and that, our mass-shooting usually involve 1 death to 5 death including the terrorist in average (each 5 to 20 years). Recently Canada has been scoring higher on the social mobility ladder (meaning a Canadian has more chance going up in life than an American born in his class).... etc etc etc... Still, I have alot of professionals friends who are moving in the USA for work
Right now, our society needs improvement, it needs to review its entire system to be part of the 21st century and ensure a strong future... the Canadian Lib are just sad... society is way too much building on snowflakes and defending emotions over ethic-moral-discipline.
However, society is improved in the past 50years has a whole and we better keep it like that... personally: I feel a small decline.
So yes DoubleGreatest... we Canadian are peaceful, yes its safer, yes there is no gun, yes we have winters, yes we have close to free education, free water, free electricity, and quite multi-cultural etc. etc. It's worth a taking a look... and if we not boring stay, learn your MED school and either stay or make alot of US money.
Danger... no matter what... guns are not needed, why? If we have guns, they will have guns.... you can't stop a terrorist from attacking... you can prevent him and do damage control... so far it works here... let's keep it working.
In War, we don't bomb other countries unless the USA ask us to... it also help to remove revenge factors and attract enemies
Culture plays a big part of one identity ... we've taken the opposite of the USA culture of certains aspects but we are still American with European influence... so Canada has the best of both world... hopefully it will stay like that... in the US: Las Vegas is such another accident and it will continue.
In Canada, Las Vegas mass shooting is a tragedy
