But don't you see how you're proving my point against everything that was claimed here? Your national pride actually prevents improving life for your community.
But that is a race to the bottom. And it only serves to make you feel good. I just gave you a real life example of the very high ceiling that is still above you, and you choose to look down to make you feel better.
I don't see where you're getting the "Race to the bottom" from, I'm just pointing out that Canada has things to be proud of compared to other countries. Like not being executed/dumped for being a girl a birth.
If all you do is find examples of places that are "worse" to make yourself feel good, there's no positive outcome, because everything is just about you.
