Make America Great AGAIN...
What is the point of the saying then?
A return to greatness is implied.

It's unCanadian to even bother to proclaim that we are "great", we're not a Great Power, never have been, and do not aspire to be, "greatness" is not even the objective end state, the objective end state, is to simply be free of the Glorius Union and its Manifest Destiny, if you're going to invoke an American mantra, Canada is more like the Dukes of Hazzard, the Confederacy which won the war and lived to tell the tale...

Just'a good ol' boys
Never meanin' no harm.
Beats all you never saw
Been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born

Staightnin' the curves
Flatnin the hills
Someday the mountain might get 'em
But the law never will

Makin' their way
The only way they know how
That's just a little bit more
Than the law will allow.

It's all about tapping into nostalgia for An America The Never Was, it's not about claiming America isn't great. Again is the last word and has the least emphasis, damn MAGA haters are obtuse. Make America Great, is far more important to the phrase than the Again part, which is simply in there to tap into nostalgia and if "Make America Great" was enough to tap into that sense of nostalgia then would have left the word "Again" out of the slogan altogether.

Being great doesn't mean you have to aspire to be a great power, the word is far more broad than that narrow application.

Canada, is not actually all that great, great, is not what Canada is, it is however, free of the Glorius Union and its Manifest Destiny, which is the true purpose of Canada and always has been.

That sounds pretty great to me. Like I said your definition is too narrow.

Great would be considerably above the normal or average, which, is not Canada, Canada is actually the dictionary defintion of average, we're not up at the top, we're in the middle somwhere, you could say Canada is good, but it's not great in any sense of the word.

We are considerably above average on several important measures, that sounds great to me. Just because we aren't a great power and don't aspire to be doesn't mean we aren't great.

What those measures would be is beyond me, there's nothing Canada is good at that many other countries are not just as if not better at, what is it that we are supposedly so great at?
