It’s not America but it was founded with western liberal ideas to be a functioning self-governing democracy and have English common law ideals similar to America. Chief among those is due process which this emergencies act completely sidesteps.

It's a system set up with "here's where the American system gets screwy" hindsight available, though. The two systems are cousins, not identical twins.

Canada has "peace, order and good government" where the US has "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"

The governments actions meet at least 2/3 and most Canadians would say 3/3 of the main Canadian values.

I think your numbers are completely baseless. And "good government" is elsewhere.
