A real challenge with Canada is that we are a big, diverse country that is dominated politically and population wise by 2-3 cites. The concerns and experiences of the city dwellers have little in common of smaller towns away from Toronto, or remote areas. So we get rules that exist to appease affluent urbanites that basically shaft the rural folk. I think the US has a similar problem, but we are way more sparsely populated and the federal government has more power. I have always been a federalist, but I think it's time to start talking about how we break up the country, so we don't have remote rule over people that it does nothing for.
