Although I'm a Canuck, it's time we admit that the beautiful idea of the land of the free, absent of tyranny and coersion has been totally consumed by the culture of socialism. This is the result of a gradual slippery slope. We're just a little further down the slope up here in Canada.

Cold War victory my butt. All of us in "the west" are just inches from communism, which is, essentially, the distribution of wealth and the elimination of private property (smoking bans, property seizures, etc.). The only difference is that we don't yet have armed patrols throughout our cities, secret police and widespread corruption... oh, wait a minute...

Try as we might, there really is no way back up that slope. It is done.
