@vicfroh@mastodon.social I feel like my experience in Canada is evidence of that. It's a cheap imitation of the EU, but we have privacy laws with some teeth, decent labour laws, (especially compared to at-will states) and socialised medical care that is at least slightly better than the NHS, but there's a reason people say Canada is three corporations in a trench coat. They were smart enough to know you can get away with evil more easily if you give the peasants your crumbs.
