Canada is a truly great country. It has nice scenery and reasonably good health care as long as you have no psychiatric problems or toothaches and you never need to buy medicine. We all love it here and everyone is our friend.But it's also got its share of problems. Notably, most of its provinces are socialist hellholes that want to tax you to death and then make it impossible to have any fun with liquor or strippers. You can't even arbitrarily buy an unlimited amount of unlicensed assault weapons to prepare for your private war against the United Nations world government (sponsored by George Soros) and its sinister Agenda 21 population control/white genocide program. And to top it all off, soon Ontario is going to make it really stupid to buy legalized weed. What a country!

Of course, not every provincial government hates your freedom. To help you navigate our country's patchwork of freedom-hating fiefdoms, here is a very exhaustive and thoroughly-researched ranking of the provinces from Nanny State to Drunk Uncle Who Leaves Pornography Lying Around State.Unlike the rest of the country where regulations are cobbled together haphazardly by the interaction of well-meaning incompetence and the demands of loud or wealthy lobbyists, the premier of Ontario wakes up every day looking for new ways to fuck up your life. This is not contained to any single person or political party; it is a spiritual disease centred in Queen's Park. What's better than a government monopoly on alcohol? A government monopoly on alcohol where the only alternative is a foreign-owned brewery monopoly on beer where it is still impossible to buy booze after 10 PM. This is a province that has Toronto—the city where food trucks are basically illegal anywhere people might want to be and having a beer (or swearing) in the park with your picnic is punishable by death.* And now they are forcing gullible millennials to eat goth food.It's illegal to have fun in Ontario, basically. Thanks Kathleen.You could argue that Quebec's high taxes are justified by the province's expansive social services like its comparatively low tuition rates and affordable daycare programs, and that these sorts of programs actually enhance individual freedom for the poor by removing some of the economic burdens which might otherwise constrain their daily lives. You would be wrong, because the only freedom that counts is measured by the tax burden. But the province outranks Ontario because the culture is far less puritanical and buying wine is not a goddamn nightmare. Just, uh, don't be visibly religious.FACT: strip clubs are basically illegal in Saskatchewan, and where there are no dimly lit bars full of sad men who would prefer to take in the frankly quaint sight of a naked young woman dancing instead of staying home to indulge in the internet's infinite buffet of weird, twisted, and graphic pornography, well, there is no real freedom at all.
