I’m from the government and here to help.
Unfortunately Canadians dig that kind of thing, even people like my extended family there who grew up on a farm and, for the most part, had a lifestyle of independence like older farm families do here. Yet today they can't see life without socialism, especially socialized medicine. I try to tell them it could be way better, that my mother had a knee replacement in a couple of weeks after diagnosis ... in Alabama! But they seem to be okay with waiting a year and a half there. One of them had to wait that long twice and still prefers the government nanny over their former rugged individualism.
