I think an honest comparison as to how Canada is doing, looking at various metrics, should be done. And, given we are likely 1 of the best countries in which to live, the nation would come out looking quite well.
Like MH said, that doesn’t mean we should paint over Canada’s poor record where there is one. But there is nothing wrong with saying how Canada s generally doing, which we all know is very good!
Some people just have a hard time looking at a glass that is half-full, I guess.
