    Our current party is currently lead by a former international banker who is now PM. We don’t have a “leader”. And by all metrics (I’m assuming you’re an American from your use of the ‘Royal We’ in this case, since everything is about America to you) “We” are smarter, and not a few years behind.

    Let me use the ‘Royal We’ from our country. “We” say, fuck you you fucking hoser and get bent. America bends, Canada won’t.

      Their leader is an international banker.

      … in a trade war. Stupid like a fox.

      They definitely are not smarter than we are

      We do present differently, though.

      Do we think that more than 46% of us read above a 6th-grade level? Yes, at 87% ‘scoring PIAAC level 2 or higher’, so that’s one metric. Most tertiary education? We’re doing a little better there, too (65% vs 51%). Electing pedos? Still eking ahead; and I’m calling that an intelligence test.

      But you can surely find areas where Canadians don’t score highly, and that’s going to be okay. We don’t need to be the winner.
