Serious faults of Canada: Prime Minister who doesn't know his a*s from a hole in the ground (broken/unfulfilled electoral promises, lack of transparency, Liberal Party dissension, cultural appropriation...); Open door immigration policy (which is causing a widespread loss of Canadian identity); Public Healthcare ("free" healthcare does not exist - we pay for it with higher taxes. Often times those who require life saving surgeries/treatments are left waiting for months or years due to overcrowding at hospitals, lack of medical professionals, etc.); Electoral system - our method of indirect voting is ineffective. We are essentially required to vote for our local Member of Parliament in order to elect a new Prime Minister (but what if you can't stand your local MLA? Tough s**t.); CENSORSHIP - Under Trudeau's regime we have seen the integration of "Hate Speech" laws, as well as gender identification laws, which effectively limit our right to free speech and thought... I could go on & on.

Please tell us in detail what the "serious faults" are. List them. We're waiting.

I thought it was pronounced meese for more than one (kidding).

Yeah, agree, D. Pitbull. ANyone thinking only Murica/Americans are racist, violent, blah blah blah? Really not paying attention. In either country, IMHO.

You dont need to go to university to be smart 🙄 As soon as u decide to go into university and have to pay for it.. your in debt (unless your in a very fortunate position where your parents can pay it all in one) so she is technically right about being in debt at 18, may just not be referred to as a student loan.

While I agree that we're not perfect, I don't think the gun issue is making your point very well. Yes, Canadians have guns. But gun owners are registered, educated on gun safety, and have frequent background checks. Our gun laws aren't perfect either, but our rate of gun violence is nothing but a positive for Canada. (5 gun homicides per million people per year vs 36; .032 deaths by mass shooting per million people in six years vs .089 - https://www.quora.com/How-does-Canada-compare-to-America-as-far-as-mass-shootings-go)

We pay a lot of taxes too. We STILL have the highest medical bills in the world and can lose our access to our insurance if the policy holder dies, divorces, or loses their job. On top of more than $10K a year, there are deductibles, copays, and lots of chances to get your claim turned down. Plus, if Trump and the GOP get their way, people with pre-existing conditions (like me) are totally screwed.

Have you ever had to pay thousands for an emergency c-section that your insurance considers an accident or injury that should come with a police report?

@Esca - Health Canada thinks of abortion as basic health care (as it should), so the various provinces cover it.

That statement, "Abortions are free." I'm presuming you're Canadian so can you elaborate on that? I'm American and I am completely for the idea of women choosing what to do with their own bodies, but the way she worded it in the article makes it seem like you can just walk in and get an abortion any time... And I don't think that's completely good either... It sounds like a Plan C. I thought it'd be better to get an answer from someone who lives there. Update: Okay, I think I get the gist of it. American educational system in regards to sex-ed isn't good and honestly I would've expected a lot of people to presume that unprotected sex is the way to go. This is just my view based on what I experienced in my own sex-ed course back in high school. The amount of ignorance kids have is insane and I have a feeling like easy access to free abortion may sound like a Plan C for people. I still think it should be allowed, but I think we need to educate youth a little bit more about potential risks from having too many abortions and why it should not be treated as a "Plan C." Like safe sex should still be the way to go (this is exempting all other cases: rape, health, etc.).

There's nothing wrong with owning a gun to hunt, or even one for self-protection. But NOBODY needs a freaking assault-style weapon whose only purpose is to slaughter as many people as possible in as short a time as possible. That's all that's at issue in the US. Except for the fact that we'd like to mandate training, testing, licensing and liability insurance --and no-loophole background checks.

It is. I see you've never been to Alberta. Camoflage wear during hunting season will get you arrested and that is FEDERAL law. You MUST wear a blaze orange vest. ...///... When I was a kid, we were Poor. Living on a farm, we could at least hunt and fish. I sneer at American hunters partly as a joke, and partly in earnest. ...///... As an example, for seven years in a row, my mother got a deer with a single shot .22 rifle that had been owned by her grandfather. She was an olympic level shot. ...///... You could call that a bit of a contrast with inexperienced Americans blazing away at everything that moves.

11. That is solid logic, but the actual facts of our gun control laws appear to disagree. Canada has 5 gun homicides per million people per year vs 36 in the USA, and.032 deaths by mass shooting per million people in six years vs .089 (for sources please see https://www.quora.com/How-does-Canada-compare-to-America-as-far-as-mass-shootings-go). We're doing something right.

12. Um. Because of the weather as you get further north.

Hi there. Criminals are going to get guns anyway they want. It’s the people that are normal everyday people and snap that have super easy access to semiautomatic/automatic rifles that laws will help. If there were regular background check through the owners whole life or years that they own guns it would probably help. Also mandated mental health checks would be good. I am all for keeping your guns but people usually show sighs of being unwell before they snap and if we could look out for that before hand maybe there would be less mass shooting in the USA.

As a Canadian, I'm with him on the bacon thing. True, I've never seen a grocery store or anywhere else categorize peameal bacon as just "bacon", but I am definitely sick of cheap pizza places who claim they have bacon on their pizzas and when you get it it's basically ham.

Only in Toronto. Literally only in Toronto. And believe me, I've lived all over Canada. The ONLY real bacon is...bacon.

Trump hasn't said or done anything racist, yet Trudeau has literally worn blackface. Figure that out.
