I'm not going to say Canada is terrible, but we could be a *lot* better. We're moving in the wrong direction.

Any country in the world could always be a lot better.

Yup. So why aren't we trying to be better? Why aren't we trying to live up to the values that we pretend to have? Sucking up to Trump while investing in pollution and giving corporations more money aren't it, sir. Have you read *any* cyberpunk literature?

Well, because it predicted the outcome of deregulation and neoliberal capitalism in the 80s. Go read Neuromancer and get back to me.

It's fiction. At least spend the effort to know what you're dismissing.
