Again, well-stated. I've also lived in other countries and have no neuroses preventing me from objectively comparing them to the US. All other countries call it bribery, here it's called lobbying. Once money is allowed free access to political figures, it's really game over.

Canada indeed is far more amenable to my outlook. I spent many years in Minnesota, one half of my family hails from it. At one time, the Midwest was a bastion of liberal, cooperative-farming folks who believed in each other. Now? It's MAGA signs across all rural areas.

Canada has no history of slavery. That poison, today manifested in covert and overt racism, destroys social cohesion among the classes who most would benefit from well-governed health and other programs.
