That paper is a social contract that can lend credibility and legitimacy to taking certain actions. It's hardly nothing. It's justification that can work for or against you.

If individuals decide to not honor that contract then that paper is only as good as the threat of consequences (or rather violence) that accompanies it. That's the case for every single law in existence anywhere in the world. The less homogeneous and lower trust a society gets the more apparent this becomes.

The American constitution is stronger than any other Western country's at the individual level, and therefore its population risks the least when standing up for itself.

That very much depends on where exactly you live in the US. Less bad doesn't mean good. Misscarriages of justice are plenty in the US.

The Canadian constitution is weak, the judiciary is leftist, and much of the population wants this kind of control (digital ID, etc.) because they've been brainwashed. They buy into the whole morally superior, don't rock the boat, "nice guy" faggot Canadian identity and it'll cost them. That and their complacency because of Netflix and sportsball and video games.

You could say almost the same about Americans. Don't be so arrogant and think that Americans are less retarded than Canadians because it'll come back to bite you in the ass. It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking of yourself as superior than the other dumb White people while forgetting that your own house is on fire too.

Ask yourself the question. When's the last time Americans have actually taken up arms in defiance of their government? It's been a very long time and since then there have been more than enough blatant rights violations by the US government that would have justified such a reaction.
