I've been stalking down other countries, namely Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, and Japan. Then today I decided to creep on Canada, too. I am so darned impressed with Canada right now!
Canada has no legal restrictions on abortion. Canada was the 4th country in the world (and the 1st country outside of Europe) to legalize gay marriage. And Canada has freedom of religion, with over 23% (and rising) of the population is atheist. That really sounds like a place I'd fit in!
I judge how well a country treats its women by what freedoms over their body the women there have. Women having darn near full control over their own reproduction systems makes me very happy, even though I never plan to even have an abortion. I judge how free a country is by the equality of its people, and marriage equality makes me very happy even though I am straight. The religion is about on par with America, there's about roughly a 20% atheist population here too. But so far as I can tell, Canada is not making attempts to stuff religion into law. It would give me a great excuse to learn French, even though the ability to speak French isn't strictly necessary. Shush, I want to.
AND! And their flag is a giant maple leaf, so that's plus 400 points right there. And at it is further north, so I might not melt every summer, and my home might not be flooded with smoke every summer because nature might not decide to set my area on fire, and if I had a dog that was meant to be a northern dog, it would not need shaved every other month just to keep it cool enough to be comfortable.
Plus I could get this tattoo. I really like this one. But I'm not Canadian. But I really like it.
