forget about the socialist attack on the oil companies and the rich, that's not the point - the important part is you want the average hard working Canadian taxpayer to pay for everybody else's childcare and womens advocacy programs and god knows what else.

"socialist" attack on oil companies? How about the oil companies' attacks on coastlines environment? People at the expense of profits is ok?
You're ok with these people paying less tax than you, and then having the government bust unions or cut social security programs, things that pay for themselves and are voluntary?
Yeah, I want every child in the country to get a basic level of health care, whether or not the parents can afford it.
When our government stops rewarding companies that ship jobs and production to other countries, maybe the social programs that do come out of pocket won't be necessary.
But if the squeeze continues, you'll get more poor, jobless, hungry, desperate people out there either ready to explode like they have been in many other countries, or preying in our parks turning our neighbourhoods into 'hoods.

"complete" is a little strong, I'd have to check out the definition. But socialistic? Definitely.
I think ideally it should be a balance between socialistic and capitalistic systems, one tempering the other.
