Canada is filled with failed companies.

Canadians are risk averse, too afraid to stand out and too eager to put down America and claim to be better than them for any significant change to happen.

Maybe the worst out of the developed countries across all metrics.

Maybe, but it’s also remarkable Canada hasn’t had a bank failure in >100 years. It’s a safe, peaceful and prosperous developed country. Hard to argue that Canada hasn’t done fairly well. I still agree it’s perhaps too risk averse, but I disagree it’s the worst performing of all developed countries in that regard.
