What makes Canada mixed economy?

Answer 1

There is private and public (federal/provincial/local) involvement
in terms of the economy. There are public-owned companies,
called Crown corporations (i.e. telephone companies, energy
companies, power companies,) that compete alongside private
options, or have the market to themselves.

Answer 2

In Canada we are mostly a capitalist economy. However there are some aspects that are not a pure capitalist. Health care is the main one that is more socialist concept, and the purest example. There are other things that are socialist leaning, but not really a cut case like health care. Like Universal daycare discussions, employment insurance and welfare.

So it is a mixed economy, not fully capitalist economy, not anywhere near a socialist economy, mixed - taking the good ideas from all types of economies.

Answer 3

Government regulation in some industries, direct intervention in others....but, like the US, private industry for the most part.

If I remember correctly, at least as of a few years ago, Canada's corporate tax rates were lower than that of the US.

Answer 4

Mostly it's the vile, secret plotting of Canada to invade the USA.

Answer 5

I think is has to do with a significant part of the country thinking that they are in France.
