I think Canada holds 1 major and undisputable advantage that we ought to admit: "Nationwide" MMJ laws.

and 40 bucks for a 24 pack is just ridiculous!!!

and i doubt any country has something called the "perfect" healthcare system... each one has its disadvantages and people of that land are the ones who ought to prefer the trade off for the advantages.

People in America don't like taxes, especially if it's a tax thats going to a social program. this is a fact many don't understand, but it's the reality that majority of Americans don't like this principle of socialist programs

but in reality it's hard to say we are not doing that in part at least. there are some major social programs that face lots of criticisms from citizens, nevertheless continue to exist and even expand.

the fact is, a completely & purely capitalistic economy and government is very very hard to achieve in practice in this day and time. it takes time, education and lots of reform for such a thing to replace our current system.
