    The fact that we have to wait until America gets its act together is frustrating. They can’t even pass a simple bill like this.

      We are an economic state of the USA. Don’t believe me? Look at our politicians over the past 20 years.

        Having lived in both the States and Canada, this is actually very untrue. Canada is SOOOO different. Yes, we import polarized opinions from the States, and yes they are our biggest trade partner, but we are still EXTREMELY different.

        Look at how we handled the pandemic. Per person, our rate was 1/10th as bad.

        Look at how we handle mass shootings. Healthcare. Diversity. Climate. Public spaces.

        We may have similarities, and our crazies are influenced by their crazies, but we are very very separate countries.
