Canada does things differently.

As a Canadian, I would say “not really”. Plenty of examples of people’s rights being violated by Canadian officials. Those events don’t get the scrutiny that US events do, but they certainly happen.

And the Canadian courts are far more likely to say the infringement was acceptable, either in that court, or under an appeal if the government loses.

Which is terribly unfortunate, and makes me value my Canadian citizenship less and less.
