The part about bilingualism is really overstated. It is a big factor if you want to work for the government or if you live in Quebec, but outside of that it is just another waste of your tax dollars.

The rest of it is spot on, and could go further into the lack of property rights, restrictions on freedom, the lack of any kind of check or balance against the power of the PM, the corruption in the government, the lapdog media...

Right on.

What makes the bilingual requirements for government jobs even more irrelevant is that there are parts of Canada where many government functions are done by non-government people.

When I lived in Calgary, the "post office" location closest to my office was actually a Canada Post counter in a local Seven-Eleven, staffed by Seven-Eleven employees. I'd be surprised if anyone there knew more than eight words of French.
