Agree a lot with the last few posts.
The naivety demonstrated by a large number of Canadians is both stunning and baffling. The general thinking seems to be that the world is full of countries broadly similar to Canada that are willing to 'play nice'. That couldn't be further from the truth. This was the case before Covid and, as rightly pointed out, it's going to get cranked to 11 post-Covid as the world fights for economic scraps on the road to recovery.
The disconnect most Canadians seem to have between the quality of life they enjoy and how those things are paid for is troubling, but not at all surprising.
