Yes, the situation in the Middle is awful, however, why should that mean Canada is not without its flaws then & beyond any honest criticism?
A responsible citizen would take a hard, honest look, rather than simply pledge blind allegiance with heaps of sugary sweet praise.
Having said this now, don't get me wrong : J'aime le Canada, however, it's not without its drawbacks.
e.g. Being taxed to death, so fat-cat politicians & corrupt bureaucrats can play the game = one reason for a growing overseas expat community.

ID-ing an old person is entirely absurd as well.
What's the logic? Is there any, other than further state intrusiveness simply for its own sake?
Excess socialization is ... just not cool.
Hardly what i'd call "freedom".
The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.
There's also a negative side.
