Canada: " Socialist". Healthy and ongoing budget *surpluses*.
Healthy and ongoing trade *surpluses* ( In spite of some
*illegal* US trade legislation... ). Large and *shrinking*
national debt. *No one* with no health care coverage.

Don't forget...

Six-month waiting lists for surgeries and tests. Family doctors
are impossible to come by, since the ones we have are no longer taking
new patients. Local governments attempting to force doctors to take
pay-cuts. Soldiers going to food banks. Rescue helicopters falling
from the sky. Submarines that can't get out of dry-dock. Roads
crumbling. Schools 'dumbing down' courses to prevent students from
failing.

And we *still* have to have half of our wages stolen to pay for it
all...
