Canada

Renowned as lands of peace, order, and good government, the heroic heritage of the peoples of the north is long standing and undeniable. While Canada has long lay under the shadow cast by its southern neighbor, the heroes (and villains) of this land believe they are second to none, and certainly do not lack opportunities to prove themselves against the many dangers of the true north, strong but beleaguered.   The native Canadian attitude toward superhumans is more welcoming than parts of United States, and UNISON operates with fewer restrictions on Canadian soil (indeed, many of UNISON’s best operatives are Canadian citizens). The Canadian government frowns on foreign superheroes operating on their soil without authorization, especially those who use weapons (given their lack of respect for Canadian firearms regulations) and disapproves of superhumans setting up private enclaves, believing they attract violence. On the other hand, in keeping with its socially progressive tradition, Canada is more accepting of extra-terrestrial refugees than the United States (provided that they go through proper channels). Most of the provisions of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms apply to extra-terrestrial refugees. In general, “freaks” face fewer prejudices on Canadian soil, and many have come to see it as a safe haven.
