Worked really well for the Soviet Union and all its member states, right?

And we all know that Cubans have the VERY highest life expectancy of 
all, right?

No offense, but the reality is that socialism is a failure.  It took the 
USSR 70 years to collapse.

How long it will take Canada, I don't know.  Perhps it will become a 
sharia-law theocracy first.

Canada is only still functioning because they have massive natural 
resources in relation to the number of people living there - e.g. nickel 
and copper mines, Alberta's oil, massive hydroelectric potential, lots 
of lumber, enough shoreline for loads of fish.  And all the cold air 
masses you could ever need :-) .

It's certainly not because Canadian politicians are so much better than 
American ones.

Plus, Canada, as stated before, parasitically feeds off other nations, 
most especially the USA, in order to reduce its medical costs.
