With all of the posting about socialism and over regulation, it is interesting to look at Canada. Canada was barely touched by the recession, but yet is much more regulated and would definitely fit in the definition of socialism, by more than a few on this board.

Granted there are some differences as noted this article and true their medical system is headed into some big problems that are being ignored by the politicians, but then so is Social Security and Medicare in this country.

I am up there a lot, and even though taxes are high compared to here, Canadians are spending and the housing market is in excellent shape.
