Evil socialismPrime Minister Pearson, Liberal, who never won a majority, passed some "socialist" legislation more than 50 years ago: Universal Health Care, The Canada Pension Plan, a Student Loan program, etc. In 1945 the "Family Allowance" program began which put money to help raising children directly into the mother's hands. The life span in Canada is about 2 years longer than in the U.S., the only OECD? Country without universal health care. If you don't invest in children, food, childhood and adult education and health care then you will have to invest in prisons, policing, drug rehab and hospitals and ghetto rehabilitation.
