RE: CANADA BASHERS DOUBLE STANDARD
your quibling about minor details
canada despite it flaws is a mature liberal democrasy that understands at a very fundamental level that BOTH capitalism and socialism are but strategies that one can use to build a just society that transends both socialism and capitalism --- it like sweden and many countries of western europe-- and yes somewhat like the states too
it is an example of the hegalian synthesis between the 2 apparently opposing positions of capitalism and socialism in concrete form
thank you all for taking me on this trip

Re: RE: CANADA BASHERS DOUBLE STANDARD
And I suppose that's part of the problem. Liberals think Capitalism is a strategy. It isn't. It is freedom and free markets, not a toy like socialism is.
I believe (as I think I can see through your thick veil of craziness) that you are genuinely concerned about Canadians and that is great. Very Nobel even. Helping people to the point they are dying in waiting rooms and taking all of our money to buy votes with, isn't really helping though...thanks a bunch for the thought, but if you truly love us...leave us alone and help those who actually need it.
Canada is great!
Some Ann Quotes for you to get through the day…
““The New York Times ran a Tom Tomorrow cartoon sneering about Americans who believe with 'unwavering faith in an invisible omniscient deity who favors those born in the middle of the North American land mass.' This is how liberals conceive of America: an undifferentiated land mass in the middle of North America.””
Ann Coulter
This is the way addled liberals really think. Even as they champion sucking the brains out of little babies, they think of themselves as indelibly compassionate because they favor an overweening, behemoth federal government. -- Ann Coulter

Actually, the Scandanavian countries are pretty high up the latter on economic freedoms. About the only thing that they have going against them in this regard is their high personal income and consumption taxes. However, in other areas such as corporate taxes, trade, etc., they rank highly.
You can see the ranks here.
The top countries are as follows
Hong Kong 1 [1.28]
Singapore 2 [1.56]
Ireland 3 [1.58]
Luxembourg 4 [1.60]
United Kingdom 5 [1.74]
Iceland 5 [1.74]
Estonia 7 [1.75]
Denmark 8 [1.78]
United States 9 [1.84]
Australia 9 [1.84]
New Zealand 9 [1.84]
Canada 12 [1.85]
Finland 12 [1.85]
Sweden 19
Norway 30
France 44

well, then you just have not bothered to look at the table there, laddy-buck.
I guess you were too busy sucking up Coulter rhetoric....

The ones that I missed while I was sucking up Ann rhetoric. The ones where you laid your fab ideas on the table that shockingly explained away why your so much freer than everyone one else or at least why you think so.

RE: CANADA BASHERS DOUBLE STANDARD
I didn't say I was "freer" than anybody else. Did I? I don't think I revealed anything about myself.
I explained how capitalism is just as enslaving as any other ideology out there, the main difference is that it did a better job at tricking the individual into believing he/she had something to lose by challenging the system; "the willing servant". In the end though, capitalism will collapse because it suffers from the same weaknesses as its brother ideaologies.

Thank you caracal kid. Your post is a perfect example of making a point without any personal attack.

My pleasure. I thought of you right away, writhing in pain from the sight of the things. :lol: Fortunately for you, I think of them in the same light!
