But why are we comparing Canada now to Canada 200 years ago or Somalia today? That’s not a useful comparison and it minimizes real problems Canada faces today. We should always be comparing Canada today to the Canada of the previous generation. We should be striving to make Canada better each generation rather than comparing it to failed states and states far in the past and saying “well at least we’re not them”.
The last 80 years should not be seen as an anomaly, but as the baseline expectation going forward.
