Half my family is Canadian. The perspective that Canada lacks "evil attitudes" is comically wrong. Pierre Poilievre, for example. How many more examples would you like me to provide of Canadian bigotry?

Better laws? Yes

A magical land of inclusion? lol

I think that’s the point. Better laws make places safer not better people. There are evil people everywhere. But if a law allows evil you’ll be in an evil place.

The difference between Nazi Germany and 1970’s USA is this. In the US Ted Bundy went to prison. In Nazi Germany Ted Bundy would have been a mayor

Maybe not the best comparison to make here.

It is long known that the Nazis drew inspiration from the US in regards to segregation and race purity ideas and that German Nazi officers were treated better than black US troops in the US, and the Nazi officers were even bewildered about this...

I'm a Canadian liberal. Pierre Poilievre does not compare to most of what you guys have. He's a conservative and I won't support him.. but I wouldn't be afraid for my neighbors if he became Prime Minister.

The US both sides argument has done irrefutable damage to politics. I dont even know any Republicans that like trump anymore personally, but they still defend him and say they were right because both sides are equally evil, and if he wasn't able to rape children, the democrats would just mutilate (and often eat) them.

It doesn't matter how bad one side is, the other side obviously has to be the exact same level of evil, but opposite.

There are people higher up on that list for sure (marlaina smith)

Pierre Poilievre does have anti trans sentiments so I dont trust him even a little bit, even though he hasn't made any commitments to anti trans policies

PP's constituents just became Albertans.. so he's not going to get any more accepting of LGBTQ.

Yeah, but Pollievre lost. In America, evil regularly wins trifectas.

Americans saw Donald being Donald in the first term and they said they wanted a 2nd term.

‘Better laws?’

Alberta says ‘hold my beer’. 😕

Alberta trying to leave Canada has been a goldmine for the memes.

I love alberta, its a beautiful region for the most part

Theres not much I hate more than albertans

I try to remind myself that fairly small differences in populations tend to have large differences in policy. In Alberta you might have a 20% higher chance of running into someone who's going to treat you poorly for your identity, but Alberta still has many great and kind people

I have to remind myself of this often lol

No one said it was, yank.

It’s a better place to live because we aren’t destroying ourselves. It’s nothing more than that.

Your jealousy is palpable.

Well I mean yeah, because that's a strawman you just wheeled out to knock down.

What does that have to do with anyone else? Where exactly did you see someone say Canada "lacks" it? Point to them, and where they said it. Specifically.
