The Shining City Upon a Hill

Trudeau and his father before him both admired communist leaders. The same is true in our country with Bernie Sanders who went on his 10-day honeymoon to Russia.

And yet Canada is neither a socialist nor a communist country. Canada is a social democracy. Look it up so you can speak intelligently about it.

I understand. The problem I have with liberals in Canada and the USA is they have communist tendencies. Canada bans free speech that they find offense. Canada decides which businesses are "essential." Same is true of the USA. Communism doesn't happen overnight. They take one freedom at a time. And it's usually done in the name of "fairness" or protecting us from ourselves. You see....we're too dumb to make our own decision. We need central planning from politicians. They're the smart ones.

I understand that speaking intelligently on any subject is not your MO, but you really ought to give it a try. People will take you a lot more seriously if you do. All it takes is just a little research on your part. I'm honestly rooting for you bigdog

I understand the appeal of socialism. I'd be a fool not to understand the appeal. I made it a point to understand the appeal of socialism and that's exactly the reason I'm against it. The USA didn't get where it's at because of socialism.

Your complete lack of understanding of what social democracy actually is,is quite evident. Until you can show even a little bit of real knowledge on the subject nobody is going to take you seriously.

Look, you're a devout believer in socialism. You can call it social democracy if you like. Or socialism-lite. I never expected to change your mind. Quite frankly, some things have to prove themselves before people wake up.

Look, I understand your reluctance on doing any research. As soon as you actually learn what social democracy is all you believe in comes crashing down. Better to keep your head in the sand, right? Don't be embarrassed about it. There are lots of people like you. I just find it a little sad that you choose to be ignorant on the subject.

If social democracy is so great, why is the USA the richest country in the world? Why is Canada looking to the USA for a vaccine? Your economy would crash without the USA. Canada is also dependent on the USA for protection.


Canada is an after-thought in the world. No one is looking for Canada for anything.

You're jealous. You're angry at the USA for being the best.

Yup, you got me. I wish with all my heart that I could pay three times more for health care. LOL. In case you didn't get it, that is sarcasm.

You don't like Obamacare? Why not?
