Canada remains a sovereign country with our own laws and cultural norms. What is very much not a joke is the relentless enthusiasm with which Canadian politicians will exploit any tragedy or controversy in the United States for their own political ends.
It began with the leaked draft ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court signalling that Roe v Wade was likely going to be overturned. Our prime minister, premiers and many other politicians quickly rushed to assure Canadians that our governments would continue to uphold reproductive rights.
Well, good. Except no one had suggested they not be upheld. The abortion bogeyman, which shows up from time to time when the Conservative party leads in the polls or someone silly in America gets a hold of a cultural megaphone, is simply not on the table here in Canada
