OH, this is too rich, so let's take this apart:
Canada, we all agree, is left of the U.S. where we citizens have things like universal healthcare and a centralized government.
SO.........
Liberty: The jurisdictions that took the top 10 places, in order, were New Zealand, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Ireland, Estonia, and Germany and Sweden (tied in 9th place). Selected countries rank as follows: Japan (11),
the United Kingdom and the United States (tied in 17th place)
Individuality: The fundamental issue addressed by this dimension is
the degree of interdependence a society maintains among its members. It has to do with whether people´s self-image is defined in terms of “I” or “We”.
Canada scores 80 on this dimension (its highest dimension score) and can be characterized as an Individualist culture.

Human Character: Canadians see themselves — and are seen by many abroad — as more socially progressive, communal, and courteous than Americans. These and other benevolent traits like kindness, tolerance, humility, and decency are proclaimed as stereotypic traits of Canadians.
Canadians take great pride in their National Health care system (contrasting their success with the
coronavirus), strong social support systems, low-cost preschool, elementary, high school, and college
education, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and other federal institutions.
Americans have been positively described by Canadians as
outgoing, confident, and
assertive, or criticized as bombastic, selfish, and aggressive (particularly during the Trump administration).
Canadians have been positively described by Americans as modest, respectful, and tolerant, or negatively, as
boring and withdrawn.
There are certain areas of concern which particularly challenge the United States:
There are greater demands on individuals and families (in contrast to Canada’s health, social, and educational supports).
Numerous experiences with
aggression, guns, and violence threaten the social fabric and sense of belonging and community.
The brutal effects of slavery still linger, while
prejudice, racism, and extremism undermine the foundational ideals.
Disparities between the ultra-wealthy and the needy contribute to polarization, demoralization, and authoritarianism.
Heretofore friendly neighbors have recently been seeing the world differently.
