No, canada is not a socialist county. We do have a social security net, like universal health care, but we are a capitalist democracy. No Lenin here. our taxes are higher than usa, but we have no health care costs. I pay about 22 to 25%. Denmark pays 62%, the highest in the world. They are a socialist country, cradle to grave, but they are also one of the most technologically advanced and highest literacy rates in the world.

Nope.
There are private businesses and sole proprietorships.
We DON'T give all our money to the government.
We have great day-to-day and emergency health care, but sometimes if you have a disease then the time it takes to wait for treatment can be kinda long.
The taxes are high, but not "out of this world".
And don't forget, we also have very affordable college education.

Canada has many of the same free-market ideals of the US, and there are more taxes, but I'd say that our terrible health care situation and the basic requirement of having health insurance or being unable to get care qualifies as a sort of tax itself.

No, Canada is not a socialist country. Taxes are high, but not quite as high as in some European countries.

Yah, and we live in igloos and eat whale blubber too!
Whoa. I hope you are totally foreign and not American. Total ignorance.
How can someone who has the internet not know this? I'd be embarrased to post a question without doing at least a little research.
