      They’re asking if a civilized country would deny healthcare. They’re not calling themselves civilized other than they have healthcare and the US does not.

        it’s deeply embedded colonialism, and you are making excuses for it. they could have said compassionate or made some appeal to practicality. “civilized” is practically a synonym for white, which is to say a way to distinguish the colonizers from the savages.

          You just sound triggered and looking to be mad about something.

          Both countries are products of colonialism and despite knowing the history of both and all of the horrors, Canada is looking a hell of a lot more civilized in 2025 than America. Does Canada have legalized slavery as a form of punishment?
