Having nearly died experiencing that power grid first hand, and their only two state exports of Bucees and Whataburger being picked up in other states, it's not looking good

I'm aware of that, believe it or not. Purely a joke on my end. I legit love canada.

In my limited experience, 1/10 Canadians I've encountered were assholes. That's 9/10 for my fellow Americans. Best ally any country could have, too. Canada is fucking awesome. If I had to move away from home to another country, it would be my pick

Which is kinda silly to say, I guess. But it's true.

I think you might be wearing rose colored glasses when you're thinking about Canada.

As a Canadian I think the ”crackhouse above a meth lab” joke is pretty apt. Canada is just America Light®. These jokes are especially poignant nowadays as our political landscape seems to be obsessed with doing its best American impression.

Of course Canada isn't a horrible place to be but it gets way too much praise from outsiders. We have a lot of problems just like everywhere else and instead of learning from the mistakes of others we seem to be more interested in following them off the same cliff.

Well, I believe you, but I think about it as Canada exporting its best people south :)
