It’s also that a bit in Canada, but how much so depends largely on the current govermental makeup at the time. The longer you have conservatives federally and provincially, the more it gets like the states. But even a quick 4 years of liberals in either can significantly relax it again. The majority of the people here still want it more relaxed, so it’s an uphill battle for the conservatives. But they are pretty great at rigging uphill battles to be more in their favour anyway, of course.
