We have concerning overlap, but what the last decade has shown is that Canada is culturally, politically and economically different from the US. And we want to remain so.
Your facile comparisons have all the insight of a high school bong session.
Our current party is currently lead by a former international banker who is now PM. We don’t have a “leader”. And by all metrics (I’m assuming you’re an American from your use of the ‘Royal We’ in this case, since everything is about America to you) “We” are smarter, and not a few years behind.
Let me use the ‘Royal We’ from our country. “We” say, fuck you you fucking hoser and get bent. America bends, Canada won’t.
Yeah, that’s what we said back in 2008, when we elected a guy who gives good speeches but is making sure his rich golf buddies get the lion’s share of the wealth.
But I’m sure that won’t happen in Canada. Totally.
Do we think that more than 46% of us read above a 6th-grade level? Yes, at 87% ‘scoring PIAAC level 2 or higher’, so that’s one metric. Most tertiary education? We’re doing a little better there, too (65% vs 51%). Electing pedos? Still eking ahead; and I’m calling that an intelligence test.
But you can surely find areas where Canadians don’t score highly, and that’s going to be okay. We don’t need to be the winner.
Their leader is an international banker.
They definitely are not smarter than we are, just a few years behind the enshittification curve.
Generally considered to be the most educated country in the OECD, so arguably objectively smarter than the US, which is rather further down.
And yet, still going down the same path as the US with regard to their political and economic situation.

Thank you for your reply. Have a lovely day. :)

… in a trade war. Stupid like a fox.
We do present differently, though.
