We could do what Mexico does to us: Dump most of our underclass numbering 100 million (criminal and otherwise) on Canada. We’ll even throw in the illegals and rich Communists, too. We’ll recover our standings in short order.

"They are six times less likely to be incarcerated."

Hmmmm.... what does Canada have dramatically less of than America does in this regard? Let me think...

Progress and freedom in Canada... this article reads like a plantation condition of living. Obama the progressist is the reason America ranks bad.

As for free speech being about press freedom, this is ridiculous. Free speech is measured by the level of subsidy your taxes provide to the speech of others. Canada is bad on free speech... notwithstanding their persecutions of pastors and their strigent gun rules.

Last but not least, America’s freedom vary state by state. Maybe they should compare themselves to California, that would make the point anout socialism.

Could demographics have anything to do with it?

Canada, if you want more illegal aliens we will gladly send them your way. They are far better people than Muslims but I have to say that música norteña, which has way too much accordion, gets old quickly. It’s the kind of music that, when you hear it enough, will make you think that having your head cut off by a mad-dog Muslim isn’t so bad.

Hardly. Canada is a 2nd-rate, tyrannical nation.

“Reporters Without Borders scores Canada 18th for press freedom; in spite of its much vaunted First Amendment, America only manages 41st.”

Oh really? Go ask Mark Steyn how much freedom of speech there is in Turdeauland.

Having once lived and worked in Canada - and even married one of them - they have a pretty restrictive immigration policy. It would be called racist here. You must show you will be able to support yourself and bring something to the country.

Until recently when Wee Justin has done an Obama and opened the doors.

There’s nothing like a happy go-lucky fool. Life isn’t all about being happy - that comes after you take care of the basics. If they were a serious people they would be shouldering the burden of their own national defense.

Woohoo! I was think honest hard-working Amish.

Or perhaps Fotomat Booths.

That’s sure to piss off the Sikhs that run Surrey. But they are there legally. Wait until they have to fight the Somalis. That’ll be fun. The Sikhs will win.

A friend of mine in Edmonton is saying that is already happening there. The East Africans don't mix well...with any body.

Diversity. Population. Urban centers. Immigration. Guns. Freedom. Habitable environment.

When your society is as homogeneous as Canada's (notwithstanding the French-English mixture), with 1/10th of the population of the United States, governance becomes quite a bit simpler.

Apples and oranges...

Simple explanation:

So, like, what else would we expect the economic stats to show at this point?

If the Canadians leave Junior Turdeau in power for at least the next 4 years, take a guess at what these stats will look like then?

I have a neighbor from Surrey. He makes jokes about it all the time. I’ll have to hit him up on this aspect of what he calls Surrey-lanka.
