Canada Economically Freer

Study Ranks Canada Economically Freer by Will Wilkinson -

Wanna dodge the draft, get gay-married or smoke a joint without fear of life in the clink. Where do you go? Canada!

The frosty land of curling and Celine Dion has long been a destination for Americans fleeing the puritanical, war-mongering excesses of the States. And now, according to a new study, our hockey-loving, socialized-health-care-having neighbors to the north have surpassed the U.S. in its degree of economic freedom. Not only can Canadians more accurately pronounce laissez faire, they have more of it. And that was before the U.S. government nationalized half our mortgage industry and bought the world's largest insurance company.

My brother and I used to have their "album" when we were kids...their christmas album. Welaughed our heads off but didn't really get the political implications until we were much older.
