cloudballoonsays...Fellow Canuck here. Good to live in a land free to tolerate, not discriminate.
bcglorfsays...We've always got room to improve though because as a fellow Canadian I don't feel my country men are all similarly free.
Mike Ward, a comedian up here was sued for $35k because of a joke he made on set.

Greg Elliott disagreed with a feminist blogger over twitter and was hit a three year criminal trial over criminal harassment, including a bail condition throughout the trial banning him from internet access. His job relied on that internet access so even though he was cleared of all charges...

You aren't supposed to dress up as Mulan unless you are Asian, or even worse as Pocahantas unless your first nations.

If you run want to run a Women's only naked spa, you still must allow those with male genitals entry or face a human rights commission complaint which is still in progress:

Those a re recent examples easy to mind, but this is pretty frequent.

bcglorfsays...Forgot maybe the best example, last year Black Lives Matters Toronto shutdown the Toronto Pride parade to impose demands on the Pride organisation. A demand that the police be excluded from future Pride parades being a key demand that Pride had to agree to before the parade was able to continue.

The special interest groups up here are graduating from taking on the "white supremacist"(their words) government in our country and are fully turning on each other now. BLM versus pride and Transgender rights versus Feminists, and on...
cloudballoonsays...Of course, no country/people is ever free. But I think we, as a nation, is doing comparatively well though.
It is sad that the progressives just loves bickering amongst themselves...
bcglorfsays...Agreed, I think we live in the best possible nation. I just also don't want to fall into the many traps I see us going for that I believe will make us worse instead of making us even better. Instead of blockading Pride parades, or demanding Spa's not be allowed to meet specific people's needs we should be building up those institutions, or if we want alternatives supporting those. Instead of attacking or tearing down what we wish was different or better, build up that something better.
