I think that parts of the US may have done better than us, although our restrictions did have quite a few breaks and have, thank goodness, stopped now (except that some hospitals are still imposing them) ... and I agree that where people are more freedom loving the restrictions would probably have been less (though, apart from a few places I don't really know the details of your restrictions). The puzzling thing for me is that freedom in the US is so closely linked to gun ownership, whereas that's not at all true in Britain. I suppose your history is very different. I don't know much about Canada and guns, but I would be interested in gun ownership there - though with that WEF/Chinese Communist Party puppet leader in charge there it seems to get more and more tyrannical by the day ... but imposed by cutting off money rather than by guns as far as I can tell. On pregnancy the terrible thing is that we seem to moving in the American direction allowing more and more abortions.
