Canada is unexpectedly one of those countries. Accessibility here is a nightmare, especially in big cities. As another partner of a person with limited mobility, I always notice and appreciate the difference that 40 years of ADA has brought to construction in the US.
(I'd take universal health care over improved building codes any day, but both would be nice.)

I work on a university campus where they've gone beyond the bare minimum that's legislated, and it's quite a stark difference from the rest of the city. Another important part of that is sidewalk snow removal. Only within the last 5 years has the city slowly started doing this somewhat right on some streets, whereas campus sidewalks are always plowed and salted.
