Canada is clearly the greedier country.
Canada is very much a wolf in sheep's clothing, or more specifically, the Laurentian elites and other political mandarins that operate our institutions. There is very much a culture of "screw you, I have what I want" behind all the theatrics and grand pronouncements because our idiot PM wants to put on a show for the world. For example, the Trudeau government made a big deal out of sending peacekeepers to Mali during his mandate and quietly left once our tour was up despite the UN asking us to stay. Similarly, they throw billions on Ukraine or their other hobby horses, but refuse to give our veterans even the bare minimum of benefits because they (allegedly) ask for more than the government can give.
Fuck. Canada under Trudeau is the most unreliable ally you can have. He refuses to treat the People's Republic of China as a geopolitical threat and allows them to operate in our country with such impunity that the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia froze us out of AUSUK. Meanwhile, Canada has no plan (or even intention) of raising our defence spending to 2% of GDP as per our NATO commitment. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg and the American ambassador to NATO are calling Canada out on this. The dark truth is that Trudeau is content to allow Canada to sit on the sidelines and let our allies bleed themselves dry in a potential conflict. I mean, we let the USA do all the heavy lifting for continental defense.
Closer to home we have a housing crisis, opioid crisis, rising crime, collapsing healthcare system, exorbitant cost of living, and myriad issues that the feds' only solution to is: throw money at it. Worst of all is that there is virtually no oversight over government spending. The ArriveCAN app was supposed to cost around $80K, but ended up costing at least $60M and that's not even the full amount because of "shoddy" record keeping from the Auditor General from knowing the real cost. Where did that money go to? To some consulting firm whose address is some cottage who then subcontracted it to other firms that only existed on paper. I'd wager that this is only the tip of the iceberg and the corruption is present throughout the civil service.
Oh, the government gives you carbon and grocery rebates, but that its but a pittance compared to what they take in taxes that they use fund their lavish lifestyles. They are the most avaricious of all creatures and the entitlement runs deep.
