That is not to say that Canada isnt a successful nation, it just doesnt even compare to the United States in terms of overall ranking. Seriously.
Also I should mention that Communism is not Socialism so your whole "commie" comment is a little perplexing.

What do any of those things have to do with helping the people? Shouldn't the "richest most powerful" country provide and give back to the people that make it what it is? That's how we look at it in Canada. Down there, things like social health care = communism. Fuck off, get real. Sweden isn't overrun by commies either, but enjoy one of the best lifestyles in the world! Canada may not be all big and bad like our neighbours to the south, but neither do we have people turned away from hospitals because they don't have health care (the ssytem has it's flaws, but it does function and does what it's meant to), we don't have even a 10th of the issues that people in the US are facing as things collapse. I'd say that makes it a pretty successful nation that will weather the economic storm far better than the big bad boys with the shiny guns and monster bank loans.
