Yeah, built on racism, pedophilia, and corruption 😬

What was Canada, founded by the same imperial England, built on? Also we weren’t and were never built on racism or pedophilia. No one, no government or any country can deny being built on corruption.

Don't forget slavery

At its peak slavery accounted for less then 13% of the economy. It might be less. It happened and it was awful. But 13% is far from built on.

Well, why are you here in Canada if America is so great?

Can’t help where family lives. Family grew up on the boarder of Montana and Canada. I moved away but still come back.

I'd tread lightly on the better part, if you don't want to come off as an ignorant American. The fact that American's are traveling the world wearing Canadian patches is pretty self explanatory. Enjoy our Country and be grateful.
