In the end, honestly what's wrong with socialism? I live in an incredibly socialist province in a socialist country.. and in all of North America we are one of the most stable, most rock solid, during this time of recession. Honestly, when it comes to those afraid of socialism all I have to say is : seriously, don't knock it til you've tried it.
Everyone has health care sure! Unfortunately, the time and quality of the health care is atrocious. Long waits to see specialist, and you have some bureaucrat dictating to your Doctor what type of treatment you receive, versus having multiple options. If Canadian Healthcare was so great, many of it's citizens wouldn't carry a separate policy in America. Also, you wouldn't have so many Canadians daily traversing the borders for jobs with American company's for benefits.

Lastly, Economies in socialist country's see almost flat growth. Nothing of that in a Capitalist market. Growth equates to jobs, opportunities, and monies!
