No, but the extreme right call Canada a dictatorship, a third world country, a shithole, etc. Hell, the leader of the official opposition called our freely and fairly elected right of center milquetoast Prime Minister and his father, "Marxists." It's ridiculous. Literally worthy of ridicule.
Most of the people who are complaining have no frame of reference other than being brought up in the safe, warm busom of one of the best countries in the world.
It is scary. Don't get me wrong, I don't disagree that Canada is a great place to live. However, we can't take that for granted.
Absolutely true. There are problems but they are first world problems and we really are very lucky to live here. I just bristle at hearing things like, "Canada is a dictatorship", no it isn't, "Canada is a third world country", no it isn't, "Justin Trudeau is a Marxist and so was his father", ridiculous. Some people need a dose of perspective.
