Canada? You okay?

Because you're supposed to be better than America.

I'll just answer for Canada here. No we are not doing okay. Thank you for asking.

Well, she didn't get shot. (Not that that's a high bar to cross or anything.)

We've got our share of shitty cops and crazy people though. We're just a bit more selective on who gets to carry firearms.
