Have you forgotten the corruption of Brian Mulroney and Stephen Harper? They were as bad, if not worse, than Chretien, Martin, and Trudeau the younger. Mulroney sold out our our legislative freedom and entire economy via NAFTA. Harper gave away our rights to privacy and security to the US when he was in power.
We don't have socialism in Canada. We have an oligarchy. Our economy is a mixed one with a heavy balance of capitalism. What do we have that is socialist? Emergency healthcare and hospitals (but not elective surgery like cosmetics or hip and knee replacements), education somewhat (except in BC where private schools steal dollars from citizens to enrich the upper class). We still have some public control over environmental standards and radio and telecoms. Mail delivery. That's about it. Banking is privatised. Almost all TV, radio, and print is privatised (and largely controlled by 2 families).
hip and knee replacements are covered, why do you think you annually hear whining about how long it takes to get one done?
and private schools don't steal dollars from anyone, they just follow the student, or in BC does your gov't give the private school more than it would to the public system? lol
and you forgot the billion we waste on the CBC, the 30B or so on Old Age Welfare, er Security
and how about the new one, for Breeders, which Sniffles is putting us into debt for, about 4-5B more than Harper's bribe was
2/3 of provincial budgets go to pretty much 3 things, Health/Edmucation/Welfare-Social programs
that isn't Socialism, lol
around a 1/6 of the Feds budget is going to the 2 things I mentioned above, pretty sure there's more there too
we tipped over into the socialist column a while ago
pretty sure that's why every gov't is heavily in debt, which started with the first waste of skin Trudeau
for Christ-sake, we're the only country in the world you can't buy basic health-care, except I think Cuba, Zoolander's second favorite Commie Dictatorship
