Where are the equality gaps? Gender is an example. America likes to toot its horn about equality, but we have a long way to go. My girlfriend just got a job cutting stone in a shop with all men. Now granted 50 years ago she could not even get the job, but the employees in this man dominated shop have know idea how to interact with her comfortably in this modern age. There is voids in communication, so on and so forth......what are some of the vices that still hold Canada back?

Over here in Saskatchewan, there is a lot of racism against natives... It's a real shame, because the ones I know are great people.
There is also a certain degree of homophobia, but no more than in the states (which is Canadian slang for the United States, by the way...)
