That would be America.


Folowed by the world turning on them. Really why would canada invade? They already have more land than they can handle (population wise), they have the 2nd largest oil reservior in the world. Lergest in both the northern and western hemisphere. They have a smaller army (so would almost certainly loose a war). they have a better healthcare system (Arguably..) and have pretty much all they need right now.

Where as the USA gets most it's oil from canada anyways, they are using up alaska until it's dry (Damn that sarah palin :evil: ). They are requiring more land due to a growing population. they need more raw materials to export, they can crush canada without even needing to break out the airforce, and they could secure and maintain in in about a month.

Obviously we know who's going to initiate war (if war happens.)= The USA (unless the Canadian Liberal party miraculiously win an almost impossible majority)

But we all know what the rest of the world would do if the USA invaded.

In terms of social services, Canada. Even though our healthcare system may not be as high quality as the USA's in several areas, that can probably be changed in the long run.

In terms of individual wealth and higher education, though, it'd have to be the US. Education-wise there's not too many world-prestigious universities outside of Ontario or Quebec in Canada.

we will always be better at hockey and rugby though

Canada's not part of North Korea. Canada is American, however, being located in the large stretch of mainland spanning from Alaska-Canada, to Chile-Argentina.

Your healthcare is definately less confusing and lower cost than ours. Best healthcare in the world is probably France...but, I have my own personal opinions on how healthcare should be run and it isn't exactly single payer.

Socialism is an economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy. "Social ownership" may refer to cooperative enterprises, common ownership, state ownership, citizen ownership of equity, or any combination of these. There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them. They differ in the type of social ownership they advocate, the degree to which they rely on markets or planning, how management is to be organised within productive institutions, and the role of the state in constructing socialism.
