Escape to Canada
“canada”
Watched “Escape to Canada” this weekend, a look at what an actually free country acts like. Canada legalized gay marriage and decriminalized pot in a little over a year, and suddenly the nerd country of North America became Hipville. They have since backed down on the pot thing, although it still seems largely ignored if you keep quiet about it, but gay marriage alone has created a tourism boost to the nation, as gays from around the US head to Canada to be recognized as free adults.
Some explanation of Canada’s leadership in this might be explained by this chart, which ranks the US dead last in a belief in the separation of church and state. Canada was fourth. When you have a nation in which its installed “leader” can discuss amending the law of the land to exclude gays from practicing the same rights as the rest of the country, and when cops slaughter 92 year old women over fake pot, then you can perhaps grasp why this “Land of the Free” is actually anything but.
