    Oh Canada

    Admittedly, I have only followed Canadian politics at the 100,000 foot level, but everything I have read recently about them indicates that the folks up there have their act together and are moving in the right direction.

    Doesn't it seem like everyone tried leftist policies and they all failed so they are looking to America to see how it should be done and they are finding success now? While we are trying to embrace the failed leftist policies they are leaving! Our leaders are nuts! But, we are nuts for electing them, so it's our fault.

    And that is the bottom line.


    Unfortunately, I think we have already passed the tipping point and the majority of the country wants to embrace socialism, as least on a limited scale (they think). But once enacted it is difficult to keep from heading further and further down the road to complete socialism. Hopefully at some point a future generation tires of it and reverses course. I do not see it happening though.

    Socialism on a limited scale ... there is no such thing. It is a cancer. If you don't eradicate it, it consumes you.

    You are absolutely correct! However, some have the misguided notion that they can implement limited socialism and can stop when they want to, hence my "they think" quote. Socialism is like the Blob, it consumes everything in its path until there is nothing left to consume.

    Capitalism is a cancer. It consumes a society. There's no halfway, and there's no going back.

    Conservatives are winning in Canada, but they're using a much different strategy than American conservatives.

    "Canada's national debt burden is lower than that of any other major economy -- and less than half that of the United States. Corporate tax rates are lower in Canada than in the United States, and on the present trajectory the same may soon be true of personal income taxes as well.

    How did Harper and his Conservatives do it?


    Not the way that American conservatives are trying to do it. American conservatives have followed a radical path to repeated defeat. Canadian conservatives have followed an incremental path to accumulating success."

    The lefty Canadians think Harper is on the same "radical path" and destroying Canada. It's hard to read the stupidity. I may need a new computer again soon.

    Every country is capitalistic. The difference is who receives the profits. In Fascistic and Communistic countries the government receives the profits. In free countries, the citizens receive the profits. History has shown it's insane to give business over the the government and let them control you. Mass murders usually ensue shortly.
