No, no, CC1. Nothing against your efforts, which I do appreciate. It was just something that struck me odd when I first glanced at the thread...

What difference does it really make if socialists go to church if they're still socialists when they come out?

We have socialized health care. Our major utilities tend to be Crown Corporations but we are not Socialist.

Capitalism is alive and well here, just with a few restraints. Don't believe all the propaganda you hear.

Socialism is government ownership of industry. Canada hardly fits that description.

It's what's called a mixed economy. Certain things (socialized healthcare, for an obvious example) fit that description. But capitalism - private ownership of industry - is the norm.

Mixed economy... Capitalism has major flaws. Socialism has major flaws. Canada and much of Europe have tried a sort of mix and match approach. And over many years it's proven to be quite effective.
