Come on, tooblue, you're oversimplifying. There's a world of gray between pure socialist and pure capitalist, and neither the US nor Canada is at either extreme, though Canada is further to the left.
Indeed, for this reason it's hard to look at any one nation (in the western world at least) and classify it so simplistically. Instead we have to look at socialist experiments within sectors of free nations, and to large degree they are substandard. I blame this, as do many cheery capitalists, on the death of incentive.
