I miss the Canada of days past, the Canada that refused to participate in the Southeast Asian slaughter fest, defying the Empire by sheltering young American men of conscience. The Canada of current days is no longer a better version of the US, it's Prime Minister a virtual vice president of the DC cabal without portfolio, but more useful than the VP in Washington. Mr. Trudeau even has a designated watcher in his American-trained Deputy Prime Minister, an office recently created.

Oh Canada; what has become of you?

"Canada claims to have a independent progressive media but it is a fraud compared to its American counter part. South of the border they really do speak truth to power and from a global perspective."

Well, thanks! Some of us do, anyway, but the only reason we can do so in the first place is the First Amendment. Canada's conveniently flexible "constitution" has no such ironclad guarantee. Plus, even though we have the First Amendment, our free speech rights are under constant assault, as the recent organized calls for censorship on Substack illustrate.

Something like the First Amendment would make free speech much easier to preserve in Canada. I highly recommend it.
