1) Canada
2) Politics = more liberal, tighter gun laws, greenery, nice and attractive people, other countries love us, free health care; paparazzi = not as bad, so more celebrities come here to hang out; multicultural (you don't even have to speak English in some areas); real estate is cheaper than some other places; extreme weather; cheaper college education; French language (except when you need it for employment); cleaner environment, higher standard of living, lower crime rates (and less chance of being attacked by other countries), less traffic, more than 2 political parties, less homophobia (less intolerance in general), more active with peace-related actions in Afghanistan; the country is still young and has time to grow, film ratings are more relaxed; legal age to drink is lower; hockey.
3) Not enough funding for certain things, like athletics; liberal justice system means that more criminals get off easy; not as many bands play here; wait lists and other issues with our health care, such as higher tax rate; extreme weather; not as active in politics; not taken seriously by other countries; age of consent is quite low in some provinces; lack of many major cities, but every year cities are growing (like Ottawa).
4) I like a lot of the people, but ignorance seems to be prevalent in certain parts, just like in other countries. As a whole, because it's a superpower (and probably the most powerful), it has more responsibility and expectations to live up to, which it has not done, politically speaking.
5) It's not really handled. However, I don't completely agree with saying that that we just hide it.
