I think you can actually get sent to jail in Canada for a telling a bad joke, but I could be wrong and that’s not at all the point. You’re right, Canada’s vastness and diversity of the people and places is a true blessing.

Mike Ward, a Quebec comedian, was ordered to pay a fine of $42,000 for jokes about Jeremy Gabriel, a disabled singer, after a human rights tribunal ruling. Ward appealed and eventually won his case in the Supreme Court, which ruled that his jokes did not breach Quebec’s Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. Despite the financial penalties, Ward was not imprisoned.

Ok, not jail.

We have the best jokes in Canada. Tell a bad joke? Straight to jail. Tell a joke that's too good? Believe it or not, also jail

Don't know why but the last few years when someone says they have the best anything I get super sceptical and start disliking this person for no further reason. Nothing personal I guess.

I have seen most of it and i know you're not meaning to sound like Trump but I can't help to hear his voice in my head as soon as I see 'we have the best ...'

The quote is someone from a dictatorship, so it kind of is meaning to sound like Trump, or rather like the general type of shitbag that Trump is.

Europe is used to that, and it is same jokes. Zionism forever!
