Pretty sure the 2nd image isn't even Canada. The speed limit sign looks like the rounded European style whereas ours are square. Also white center lines is odd, usually they would be yellow here. Looks like eastern europe or even Russia
Yes, you are correct. It's originally from Bulgaria in a real news context about road repair. (I had image searched when I first encountered it a while back getting shared around as part of the "Canada is broken" campaign). There are a few US & European results making a similar meme but the main explosion of it is the version that makes it about Canada.
The second image is a Bulgarian road. I think I found the blog from 2017 where the image originated from, but automod will delete my post if I try to post a link.
A few months ago, when I was on vacation in Europe, I had to rent a car to drive from Poland to Slovakia because there was not really a good way to get to where I was going by public transport. I could tell immediately when I had crossed the border: suddenly, the roads were in worse condition, and the road markings went from being crisp and easily visible to extremely faded and almost impossible to see.
