* Identical anti-vax culture and rural-vs-urban divide
* worker protections aren't that much stronger, and the impact on a mega-contagious disease is dubious
* health care coverage isn't universal but is based on the province, and only applies to things inside of a hospital + some other stuff like midwives
* and obesity rates on the old / elderly may be very similar -- since those are the ones who are dying; I'm from the US but in Canada and I see plenty of fat older people but fewer fatass kids.
* also leaving out things like Canada's insanely high COL and associated challenges like heating costs, serious issues with transport and accessability -- if you're in a big city you have good healthcare, but if not then good luck, and a population skewed to the Boomers just like the US who are, again, the ones who are mostly dying from the disease -- it's the older folks.
