Canada - Chained Socialism

No matter how much the Capitalists try, Canada is Socialist, and will remain socialist through the days to come.
In a defenseless land the one man with the sword is the one who holds all the power, regardless of of his intelligence level and his keen sense of, or lack thereof, leadership.
This in short, may be said with regards to the United States of America. They were the victors of the Cold War, the War which would leave only one "superpower". Yet in a world dominated by wealth and the almighty Dollar, only a few hold, and only one can fully wield, the power of the world. This "one" that is wielding the power of the world is the USofA. The problem with this with relation to Canada is that, well, we are the Northern neighbour of this great influential force that is the United States of America.
With regards to the Cold War, the USA spent many years ridding the world of Communism and all forms of Socialist governments, because quite frankly, they are a threat to Capitalism.
This is way I say that the United States of America, and all that they stand for, are the dictators of the world, and are running the Canadian Government.
As Canadians we should have the right to be Communist, or have a dictator, or even have some form of an Oligarchy since in the end, we are the only ones, as Canadians, that can be influences by the Canadian Government. One living in Brazil does not care, or even live a day, worrying about what goes on in Canada, so why is it that only the Yankee cares? The answer to that is Capitalism.
If Canada were to become even more so, a Socialist Nation, where many things are paid through by taxes, thus are "free" (to some extent of the word), as our present Health Care System, then the worker living to our South would begin to see our lifestyle, and wish for the same treatment. However, the owner of the worker living to the South would notice these "freedomains" that we would have in the North and would begin to get worried, and jealous.
How could anything be "free", is what the Capitalist asks himself. Someone must always be making a profit, and someone, some individual, not the structured government, must own the property and the services. Not the government.
A perfect example of this is the American Health Care System. Their Hospitals are privately owned, taking away any Social aspect, and when a person needs the service from that Hospital (s)he must, in the end, pay the Hospital, but always the owner of the Hospital. Whereas here in Canada the individual has already paid the government for this service through taxes, and whenever (s)he needs any treatment, regardless of where they stand financially, may receive the same treatment as any other citizen. After all, we are all citizens of the same country.
The argument of course against the Social aspect is the Greed. The Doctors will get paid more in the Capitalist Hospital because there is more money being made from the Hospital, since the Hospital may charge whatever they feel, and there is more money to pay the employees. Yet in the Socialist Hospital, their is only the money which the government may supply, thus the workers may not get the best pay, however the citizens are guaranteed treatment. Maybe not the overall best treatment in the World, they are given, however, HIGH-STANDARD treatment. One of the best in the world.
Greed, individual greed is what Capitalism is all about. Only those who can afford it, will receive it. Those are the ways of the Capitalist. Where as Socialism, Canada, is all about the collective of individuals getting the same treatment.
The problem with this social aspect of Canada spreading to other areas, as in "free" public transit (paid for by a transit tax) would be that these ideals are bordering along the lines of Communism. Though are not led by a Communist Government, the Government is still Democratic at best. Nonetheless, the USA had previously spent the better half of the 20th Century fighting Communism and Socialistic Ideals from the world, thus will have no part in any Nation, let-a-loan its neighbour to the North, share those Socialistic ideals it spent so long to get rid of.
After all, in a defenseless land the one man with the sword is the one who holds all the power, regardless of of his intelligence level and his keen sense of, or lack thereof, leadership.
This is why... This is why the Canadian Government, and the Canadian people are not fully free. This is why the image of Canada is fading. For the image of Canada is a Socialist one, yet we are "not allowed" to have that, so we must adapt to the ways of the Yankee, of the Puritanical-Capitalist.
This will soon stop!
The chains of Canada's Socialist Nature will be broken... Canada's War is becoming...
