Some people claim Canada doesn't have a bill of rights, or that it doesn't matter because there's ways around it so it isn't absolute. In reality the United States has varying levels of scrutiny explicitly allowing violation of the constitution, so it isn't absolute any more than Canada's constitution is.
The problem isn't that there isn't Constitution or Bill of Rights. The problem is that there's a culture at least under Trudeau that says that it is preferable to violate the constitution than to not get what you want.
The only reason the United States Constitution has teeth is that their culture treats it as almost a religious document. As we saw from 2020 to 2024, that can change quickly if the culture starts to change.

Our differences are SCOTUS and the fact that we are armed.
