Hey Little Hawk,

we are a tad more socialist (thank God...) than the USA

Well we are Waaaaay more socialist than we should be.

the NDP (our only socialist party

We have one main one (the democrats) and a small one from the Northeast (the RINOs)

which doesn't have a dog's change in hell of forming a national government

Why do dogs change in hell? Crispy?

Unfortunately, ours have done a whizbang job of laying the groundwork.

How much is a 6 pack of beer there?

How about a litre of gasoline (4 per gallon)?

Pack of butts?

Is it the shipping costs or.........something else?

Big private enterprise, mostly American-owned, runs Canada

Would that be where most of your jobs come from?

The main difference between the public sector (government) and the private sector (business)is;

Business (which create wealth) pays workers who help them provide a valuable product or service.

Government (which confiscates money) overpays workers most of whom do little else than accept their paychecks. (see: USPS)

The government rips off both the companies and their workers and then feeds itself.

Where would you be if the hated American companies were to split?

Here's to both of our prosperity,
