I occasionally enjoy the fact that I can go to a hospital and get fixed up without extra charge -- and I gladly pay extra tax for that, even though I make above the average. I'm proud to pay it. That my tax ends up 1% higher than it would be in America is another cherry on top.
I enjoy that I'm generally safe from gun violence, even in a major city -- very different wariness level from when I was in NJ and NYC.
I have a few beefs. I am disappointed that I can't openly talk about some of them. I will say that genociders should have reduced propaganda rights, but I know why that's unpopular and if ordered back to Service to defend it I guess I'll go.
I'd like to see us spend as much time worrying about our massive forests as we worry about Brazil's massive forests. Protecting them as the Earth's lungs is more a priority than we seem to demonstrate.
Lucky to be Canadian, proud to do my part so others can feel lucky too.
