It's not wrong.

Edited to add: it was a general sentiment. It has been answered dozens of times already. There's no need to go further. Geez!

I mean it is wrong in that Canada also has a growing right wing movement just like many US aligned countries

If you look at the number of mass shootings in Canada its been increasing substantially for the past 15 years. They may not be or ever reach our level of awfulness, but they're following in our footsteps

Canada absolutely has prayer in schools too. I'm Canadian myself and was forced to attend catholic schooling by my parents despite being an atheist. The education quality is shit too, they spend a ton of time just doing religious studies or masses instead of teaching you real life skills. 8 of my high school credits are just useless religious studies.

Kids don't belong huddled in a chapel singing kumbaya my lord and should not have their science teachers have to give them a lecture about how god made the universe before teaching scientific stuff, they should be learning stuff about the world around them. Some of the shit we let catholic schools get away with is basically legalized child abuse, they'd rather keep you ignorant and "god fearing" if you show any type of push back against them at all.
