We are more aware of these things than anyone else. In recent years Toronto and the surrounding area has gone to complete dog shit as far as crime and socioeconomic status. It's others from outside of Canada that give us the reputation for our politeness and demeanor. But walk around Toronto on a busy Friday afternoon and tell me what you really think of us lol.

I always cringe when I hear Americans say that Canadians have a free healthcare system. My cringe is twice as big when I hear Canadians say the same thing. To the best of my knowledge every nurse, radiologist, anesthetist, General practitioner, surgeon, x-ray technician, MRI technician, and so on and so on and so forth they all get paid and to the best of my knowledge all of building have maintenance staff and electrical costs etcetera etcetera etcetera and all those are paid for. Even when my dentist friend takes his whole crew to Bangladesh to do unpaid dental work for people there, he pays his entire staff. Canada doesn't have and probably never will have free healthcare. But we sure have a great system that we are lucky to have I pay a lot of taxes to keep that system afloat and I'm happy to do so

You’re kinda proving her point. Canadians are pretty much some of the most nationally insecure people I’ve ever met. Many pretty much have the mentality that Canada has little to no problem and if you discuss any with them they will instantly pivot to either a tu quoque (if your American) or red herring (if you’re not American) of “But America has ____ problem!” Another thing they will do is that they will often ignore issues such as them being almost completely geopolitically dependent on ten USA (and to a lesser degree Britain), their serious need of a robust bill of rights protecting things like freedom of speech, their lack of knowledge of (or minimization to flat out denial of) the simply horrific things done to the native populations in Canada by Canadians, and some serious trade and economic issues such as how each Canadian territory trades more with America then they do with each other. Essentially many Canadians seem to act like an insecure younger sibling who resents his older more successful brother, and tries to have a holier art then thou attitude, all the while secretly knowing that said older brother is also the only reason he is relevant and protected. While I’m not saying this is true of all Canadians by a long shot I’d say that this completely unfounded mix arrogance, insecurity and resentment runs deep in many.
