The top three countries are:
Taiwan, Belgium and the Netherlands
The US is ranked 8th with … wait, yes, Norway.

the muslim countries are kind of bottom heavy on the list, sort of like their women under the veils
Canada is 124th? Italy 159th? What are these dudes smoking?
The fact that Taiwan is number three on the list tells me there’s a problem with the methodology.

you haven’t kept up to date on the muzzling of free speech up north, have you?
edit hint: Bill C-16. it is illegal to use wrong gender pronouns. so, if you don’t believe in progressive gender theory, you could be accused of hate crimes, jailed, fined, and made to take anti-bias training. sounds like a great country to have a free opinion

I think Taiwan is lax on what you can think. No one shoves and forces you to live a certain way here as much as other places.
I think you can legally be a communist or nazi here. Can’t be many other places where that’s the case.
I agree, but if you try and be in any way eccentric or an individual, then you will have no friends.
That page doesn’t even talk about that stuff, it only really focuses on how apparently religion is making Canada an oppressive state
Exactly, they just leave you alone 
Very alone.
i know. but that is just one of many examples of where Canada is/has been going. it’s related to the general topic

Most of the bad stuff in Canada regards religion, lol, and that includes blasphemy laws.
I’m just puzzled why of all aspects in Canada, they focus on religion. Despite the laws existing my impression is it doesn’t hold a whole lot of sway there these day, much less compared to 123 other countries
China has like 350 points and Taiwan has only 1 point, clearly china is the winner!

“In February 2017 calls for the murdering of Jews were heard – and recorded – in a mosque in Montreal. The preaching would otherwise have constituted a clear breach of article C319, as heinous speech against an identifiable group. A Jewish association brought the case to the police in March 2017, however we have no indication whether the case was seriously pursued by the state, and the primary suspect had already escaped to Jordan.”
this made me lol. It must have OBVIOUSLY been a misunderstanding.
Malaysia ranks in at 189th, lower than North Korea
Starting from Lebanon down it’s all bad!
This report is published by a humanist group and is only concerned with how open societies are for humanists.
Malaysia is bad, but definitely better than North Korea. But…apparently you can smoke weed in NK, here you can get death for it. And the people actually encourage death for it. Under Malaysia laws, lots of things allow capital punishments.
