Why do Americans think Canada is a socialist country?
Do Americans not understand what socialism is? I'm tired of my country being falsely labelled as "socialist". Canada has a very free and competitive market, a very healthy economy. Having universal healthcare like every other industrialized nation (except the US) does not make Canada suddenly socialist, because that's not what socialism is. Universal healthcare is no more socialist than public education or a police department is. In Canada, we have very high taxes, but high taxes isn't "socialist" either.

Socialism is when the state dictates economic production. Socialism is when the state controls the market. How is Canada "socialist"?

Why do YOU think Canada is "socialist"?
