<3 Canada. I remember my childhood visit to Vancouver. Awesome city.
Canada…
… has universal, single-payer health care that is free or nearly free
… pays for prescription medications for those who can’t afford it
… doesn’t have significant gun problems
… welcomes refugees
… is very LGBTQ friendly, both in law, and in the way most people think
… is generally racially tolerant and culturally inclusive
… has a sane prime minister
… does not deny climate change
… has political parties in its furthest right that would never consider defunding healthcare or social security or teaching creationism in school
… has political parties that in the US would be considered, far left, extreme left, and radical left
… has independent (civilian) review boards for homicides involving police
… pay cops anywhere from 2-3x what most US cities pay cops (high 5 figures to low 6 figures), which means that cops actually care about their jobs, and the police force can recruit well-qualified people
… has a much more progressive income tax system that taxes wealthy individuals and companies a lot more, as well as consumers (higher sales and property taxes) to pay for it all
… has stronger beer
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
all of which make it superior to the united states.
