Don't Be Canada

How One Country Did Everything Wrong All at Once

A shocking, darkly hilarious exploration of how Canada, a country once admired for its stability and moderation, became a global cautionary tale.

Drawing from real headlines, deep research, and extensive interviews, acclaimed journalist Tristin Hopper uncovers the bizarre missteps and policy experiments that have helped Canada set new global standards for disfunction. The examples are legion: the real estate bubble that never bursts, Orwellian internet regulations, harm reduction policies that escalate harm, official health guidelines that recommended the use of glory holes in a pandemic, and a runaway euthanasia system that inspired the Wall Street Journal to declare, “Welcome to Canada, the Doctor Will Kill You Now.”

As sobering as it is comic, Don’t Be Canada examines the cascading consequences of extreme policies and tells the tragic story of a country that took its wealth, tolerance, and functionality for granted.

Needs redoing

Just because the person writes the book, doesn’t mean they should also narrate it. A professional would have made this more palatable.
Also, the recording needs editing - there are a number of false starts and misreadings that have been left in.

So accurate

The tale of a once great nation whose greatness slipped away. Short and succinct. Loved it!
