It just doesn't seem to be the harsh regime there that some others experience.
Years ago in my part of Canada it was not the harsh regime that it is today.
Over time however it seemed as if more and more of our lives had to be "micromanaged" by the elders.
I always thought this tightning up of rules was all around the world but maybe people in other countries were not willing to put up with the same level of crap that us poor Canucks were.
