setup and punchline
no, canada and the usa are not the same
but the differences aren't what white canadians make them out to be
ask a white canadian what the difference and they'll tell you canada is more 'polite', that we have a better human rights record
which is, of course, absolute bullshit
you really want to know the differences? here are the ones i can think of:
we've never elected a person of colour as leader of the country (fuck obama but cmon guys, jagmeet singh is right fucking there)
we maintain a better reputation, despite doing essentially everything that the usa is criticized for
meanwhile, our record of genocide and slavery is parallel to theirs
indigenous communities still don't have access to safe drinking water
black and brown people are still disproportionately incarcerated and forced to work for cents per hour (legalized slavery)
a man who did blackface and brownface at least three times has led this country for two terms
the liberal party's federal government continues to sell arms to places like saudi arabia, weapons which are then used to kill brown people overseas
justin trudeau is very fond of drone strikes (in asian and middle eastern countries, because if he did that to white countries it would be recognized internationally that he is committing war crimes)
our healthcare system still doesn't include dentalcare, pharmacare, or opticalcare
I could go on, but hopefully you're getting the point. in case you aren't, this is the point
