Canada is just america but 5-10 years behind on the crazy policies. It really isn't any better and cost of living is often higher than in america.

This is simply not true. Did America have universal medicine 5-10 years ago? Subsidized education? Abortion and trans rights? Refugee policies? The only country in America attempting to highlight the genocide in Gaza? "Cost of living" isn't higher on average, it's the taxes and population density in specific areas that skew the numbers. Not surprising you cant count.

Seems to me americans love to say Canada is americas retarded cousin (quoting tucker carlson) because it makes them feel better, but it's simply not true.

Our society isnt exactly the same as America's but it does seem to mirror it a little more every year. For example we are on the brink of losing our public healthcare and some provinces are attacking trans rights. Canada has also been exporting arms to Israel during the genocide.

Fascism is growing. Saying we are america 5-10 years behind is stupid. I didnt say canada wasnt exporting arms, i said it's the only one publicly calling out the problem.

This garabge of "well we still send arms" with 0 nuance is why assholes like Trump get elected. Gtfo out canada you arent helping
