How do you feel about your own country's heavy socialist leanings?

I think they do a lot of good for the country, and probably contribute to Canada's high standard of living, low crime rate, and the health of our society.

While I agree with Friedman that total economic freedom is always a good thing...I'm not so sure that such a state is feasible in the real world. Certainly not in the world today. Too many governments, even the "capitalist" ones, interfere with their economy. True Capitalism is probably as much of a pipe-dream as any other "pure" economic/political system.

Though it's never bad to dream, and there's always hope.

Also, Canada doesn't have a heavy socialist lean at all....it's much more of a slight lean.

Countries with a heavy socialist lean would be countries like Norway and Sweeden. Canada doesn't hold a candle to them, when it comes to socialism.

On a 1-10 scale (1 being pure capitalism and 10 being pure socialism), I surmise that the following applies:

U.S. = 3
Canada = 5
Sweden/Norway = 8

Yeah I'll agree with that scale.

I'm am totaly against too much government control like communism but if you think the other extreme is better, you are just like a commie. Keep it moderate.
