The current Socialist Party is an electorally inactive and unregistered federal political party in Canada. The first Socialist Party of Canada existed from 1904 to 1925; the second has existed since June 1931 when it was relaunched by some members of the first party, but has not run a candidate at the federal level since 1961. From Wikipedia/Socialist Party of Canada I'm afraid that you are the one that must RIP Mikie!

The party that had begun as a social welfare movement changed the tone of Canadian government. (/Paste) I rest my case... RIP your argument Phyllis. (CUT)

Results= 3.8 million If it were just Social Medicine I might buy it... heck, even Hillary was putting together something of the like while her hubby was in office. But look at everything as a whole.... their healthcare system, their tax code, their education, welfare system... it all rings Socialist to me. Everyone pays exhorbitant taxes so "Big Brother" can take care of you. It's a far cry from Capitalism. Maybe I will concede that they are Democratically Socialist... but that's about it.

Does that make England a Socialistic country? Does the Queen know? Common' Mikie, for once admit that you are wrong! I did google Canada and Socialism and I did not come up with 4 million results, I came up with 4 million results for Canada and Democracy. You loose! England has socialized medicine. Does that make England a Socialistic country? Does the Queen know?

Common’ Mikie, for once admit that you are wrong! I did google Canada and Socialism and I did not come up with 4 million results, I came up with 4 million results for Canada and Democracy.

You loose!

If it Quacks, It's a Duck. You google the question "Is Canada a Socialist Government?" and almost 4 million results will appear to support that conclusion. Hitler came to power in a Democracy. Are you gonna sit here and try to claim Nazi Germany ran things in a Democratic way? Canada may have started a certain way. But the Socialist party has a firm grip on that Government. Hence, their laws, policies and programs all tilt in that direction. **Sigh** Phyllis, as I told you before… If it Quacks, It’s a Duck.

This does not mean that they are a Socialist country. The Queen would say. "We don't approve!"
