Your problem is you keep throwing that socialist word around like you know what it means. As a Canadian, I know that our economy here is very much capitalist and our central bank is owned by the people, meaning that they wouldn't dare pull the shenanigans that the Federal Reserve or ECB pulls on a regular basis. The difference in spending between the Liberals and Conservatives here is barely worth making noise over, and long term we are very sustainable as a nation. It's shameful that any Canadian would compare our system of government to the USA, which is essentially a sly form of 2-party fascism that ensures a third party will never hold any important government role. The USA is in a lot of ways a mafia-style enterprise that has turned planet-wide consumption into a game, and they are very efficient at it. It's not sustainable forever, but it works for now. Just please, actually study Canadian politics before spouting socialist rhetoric. We're not socialist, we're socially liberal and fiscally conservative. That is what defines Canada on the world stage, and why a country of only 37 million people is part of the G7. Once the Queen dies we will likely become a republic, as will Australia, but it likely won't change the soul of the Country. The very crowd in Canada that hate universal health care would have died of old age already if they had to pay for their own healthcare instead of smokers and boozaholics that pay for a majority of it. What, didn't know that? I mean, it makes sense given they're the largest beneficiary of expensive health coverage.

But calling Canada socialist... that's pure propaganda. The US Government is more socialist in its structure than Canada's, and the guy sitting in the White House right now has benefited greatly from it. Tax payers have paid the tab for his bankrupties, and now they pay the tab for his businesses. He's the biggest socialist there every was, just look at his spending since taking office.

just please, stop spouting nonsense and think for yourself. It's our birthright as Canadians to live as we please and work together, not get caught up in divisive rhetoric of American Media. My ancestors fled the USA two centuries ago because its been ruled by the Puritans (now known as the Fellowship I think) for centuries, and knew that one day the US would implode in on itself (their words, not mine), and now we're seeing it unfold in real time. Why anyone would choose that over Canada is beyond me, but good luck with it.
