Why is the Canadian baby so unhappy? Shouldn't they be happy? Or at least saying "sorry!"?

Housing prices. They know they'll never be able to afford a home, even with help from their middle class parents.

Because they know the top of their head is about to become detached at the mouth

It's a badge of honour, much like Americans getting their first gun. The head detaching process is, surprisingly, painless, but leads to decades of bragging about free healthcare and complaining about Newfies (you know we love you 🧡)

US bullshit aside, Canada has been struggling for a while. Cost of living is out of control, many folks are struggling. Housing prices are completely unmoored from reality, especially in major cities.
