Canada ain't perfect but that so-called freedom has cost many Americans plenty. It just isn't on the radar because they're not listed on the NYSE.
I agree, it is ridiculous that the U.S. still does not have federal healthcare and relies solely on the private sector. However aside from that, I think the U.S. is a better country overall than Canada in terms of opportunities and not getting screwed over by oligopolies under the guise of the Canadian way of doing business. Your statement on Freedom to be denied decent job opportunities because of who you are is misguided, I see that a lot in Canada. The fact that we have a population of 37 million people compared to the 327 million people down south makes competition that much worse in Canada. Don't get me wrong, I love Canada and its people but we can virtue signal all we want but it's not going to pay the bills.
