    Absolutely. And even the wonderful places don’t make the top 20 in the world.

    > You take your site off the public internet and paywall it off I did that. I even printed and bound it in a bunch of dead trees and put it up for sale. The LLMs still stole it.

    You’ve made it very clear you think it’s a joke of a country. I’m happy to hear you agree with my original comments, and the point of this entire thread. Canada is not “just like” …

    Is the Canadian healthcare system perfect? Of course not. Is it the best on the world? Clearly not. Is there lots of room for improvement? You bet, and people like my wife are work…

    What a shame you don’t have good public transit, horrible crime and pollution, poor schools and a police force that is actively against you. The US does not have a single city in t…
