Just like America, it doesn't take long until you see the dirt beneith the shine.
Racism is as rampant in Canada as it is in America.
Their country is constantly trying to split itself apart.
Taxes are high and heath care is having troubles with overloading.
Having lived in Canada for some time, these aren't problems I'm making up. Sure, I support marajuana legalization and gay marriage. And those are some of the good things about Canada.
However they also dont face many problems we face. Rampant immigration of the poor accross the borders (which scews the infant mortality rate/etc). The price tag of being labelled the world police (we didn't simply nominate ourselves afterall). It's easy to put money elsewhere when a whopping 2% of the budget goes to the military (they know no one will attack Canada with us as their only neighbor). And all that entails being the leader of the world.
Cute article, however it's not exactly unbiased and doesnt take into account most things.
