You're not prepared to listen but I'll sum it up. All of them, except the second amendment. Canada doesn't have a right to bear arms, but a privilege. Sort of like a drivers license. Gun ownership, per capita, is high, #12 in the world per Wikipedia. Behind hot spots like Iraq and Yemen, and no one touches the US.

I welcome any rational rebuttal. I have provided the original laws in my points. Unless you are saying those laws I quoted are false, I can hardly see you argument being right.
The Canadian Bill of Rights is just a federal law, not part of the constitutional. It can be amended through regular legislative process. This means a political party in control of the parliament can easily change the rights if they want to. Hypothetically, today you have the right to a lawyer, but tomorrow, you don't.
The Canadians would spit on you if you even hinted that Canadians should have the right to keep and bear arms. If you were stupid enough to utter the idea that citizens forming a militia to resist a tyrannical government, you would be immediately arrested by RCMP, similar to our FBI, as a terrorist.
In US, such right is self-evident and fundamental. The Bill of Rights specifically prohibited that the government from infringing upon this right.
Agreed, and Americans are killing each other in staggering numbers because of it. Although gun ownership in Canada is widespread, it is subjected to greater regulation.
3. Suspension of Rights
In Canada, a province, similar to our State, can even suspend the rights without cause.
In US, "The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it."
In Canada, they have hate speech laws defined by the government.
One can't say anything bad about a group of people except for white people. Seriously, but a country can't say it has freedom of speech while having hate speech law in place. "Hate speech" is basically whatever speech the government or some people disagree with.
There are hate speech laws, as well as freedom of speech. Hate Speech has clearly defined parameters within Canadian Law, and are not unlike the Civil Rights Act, anti-discrimination practices in nearly every state.
It never ceases to amaze me just how little Americans know about the world.
Citizens of the USA , residents etc have LESS worthwhile rights than many other nations. It is not even close.
Don't confuse the right to have guns with having "better" rights , they are simply different.
In the USA most people don't get a real public defense. The system in the USA is intentionally designed to remove the rights of low income folk.
Not having true access to a public defender in a reasonable time frame with reasonable access makes the USA one of the worst western nations for an innocent person to be charged.
But go ahead and talk about how freedom of speech in the USA is so great, that the right of the speaker stomps all over the right of others.
I can accuse anyone of anything as long as I say it is my opinon and you will waste your treasure trying to stop me. Rest of the world you are accountable for your actions, like adults.
Why else do you think someone like Trump could be president , he would have been arrested and jailed for his threats , lies and racial attack over the course of the election and now continuing as president.
Free speech is only "free' when others are not trampled by it.
I could go on, but it is hardly worth as so many Americans just don't grasp how we really compare.
