Canada has universal healthcare, but the "socialism" you think it has ends there. If you lose your job, you'll qualify for a few months of unemployment insurance and then you're on your own. There are no food stamps and welfare is about $800/month in Ontario and is incredibly difficult to qualify for.
- linuxftw 7y agoThat's the thing. When the bubble pops, the socialists will vote for wider-reaching welfare. I mean, people around here are already talking about universal basic income non-ironically. I think Canada will be the first to pass it large scale after the next major economic downturn.
