“But Canada proves that a country can climb out of a deep fiscal hole within a remarkably small number of years and build a prosperous society even while it retains large welfare-state programs.”
This is a dishonest quote used by covert Leftists. For starters, Canada has about 34 million people, and the US has about 320 million people; our welfare system is at least 10 times more crippling than Canada’s, and considering that welfare programs alone take up much more than 50% of our budget, we MUST eliminate welfare before we can proceed, both in a fiscal and moral sense. 100% of the New Deal must be repealed!
Only if the Liberals are kept as a 3rd party.
I (for some reason) read MacLean’s magazine, and my goodness if you think the press here is full of dingbat leftists, then these people are full-on Marxists. They see Harper is the most evil SOB to ever be PM and are just waiting for Trudeau to take his “rightful” place as their version of Obama. They even got their own version of John Stewart whose only job is to make Harper out to be an idiot because being better of economically than the U.S. obviously is obviously the mark of stupidity.
They really dont realize how good they got it compared to us down here. If they keep their heads and dont put Marxists in control, then they will have some smooth sailing for the next 5 years.
Them is fightin’ words to a Canadian.
Is it finally safe to state on this forum that the US is a socialist country and that no other foreign country is a greater enemy to us then we are to ourselves? ...we are the ones we were afraid of..
That includes China. Oh we may well fight them but it will be one communist country fighting another one.
All of the pleas to keep American jobs here, keep our oil here, bar imports, etc. are just crutches of the typical communist regime. They all are useful in diverting us from insisting on being free men.
Now Canada is held up as a role model...jeeesh. Must explain why we can’t let them connect their pipes.
Canada also does not have large, growing numbers of minorities (blacks and Hispanics) who drag down the average GDP. I certainly congratulate Canada for its economic reforms and wish we’d do the same. But keep in mind demographics make a huge difference as well.
