On the whole, Canadians (including myself) are hilariously spoiled relative to the rest of the world.

Not to mention we also pay some of the lowest taxes in the OECD.
To think Canada is "broken" is hilarious when comparing ourselves to advanced economies in Europe, Asia, and the USA.
Every country has their problems. Some (inflation, housing, immigration, cost of living) are being felt by all advanced economies (weird, eh?) while other problems are more localized.
Canada has its own unique problems, for sure; but damn if people don't love to talk about how broken this country is without offering any options to fix it.
