I just told you, Sawza, Canada is 98% capitalist. Maybe 99%. And we're good at it too. If that doesn't fit your insane mythological notions about us, too bad. You may be under the impression we live in igloos here too for all I know... ;-)

I admire the Cubans because they've successfully resisted you Mafia bastards in Greater Imperial Amerika for 50 years now and they've kept you at bay. Plus they're more friendly, more polite, more mature, and more likeable than you are on an individual basis and they're lively and confident enough to do stuff for themselves rather than just sit on their couch like a stuffed potatoe and watch someone else do it for them on the TV screen. That's good enough for me.

They put you totally to shame as human beings, and so do a lot of other Third World people, but you'll never know it because you live inside a bubble of blind cultural ignorance, safe behind your embargo, your mountain of possessions, and your ill-founded fear of the fictional bogeymen that your politicians invented so they could keep successfully enslaving YOU.
